Dairy Free Eggnog
Updated: Aug 17, 2019
With the holidays quickly approaching, I've decided to go outside of my cookie comfort zone and whip up a few different holiday treats! Starting off with some good old fashioned eggnog.
Eggnog has honestly never been a favourite of mine as I like to stay away from such heavy doses of dairy, but it is a go to for some of my loved ones. This year I figured I would try and make a version that is a little lighter on the stomach that I can get behind, and this version made with almond and coconut milk definitely did the trick!
Dairy Free Eggnog
Ingredients
6 organic eggs
3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
¾ cup of canned organic coconut milk,
1 ½ cups of organic unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg
Ground cinnamon
Directions
Separate the 6 eggs
Beat the egg whites in your stand mixer on medium-high speed until frothy with soft peaks, then transfer to a separate bowl
In your stand mixer, beat egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup until it becomes creamy, then slowly add in 1 ½ cups of almond milk, followed by ¾ cup of coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla, then lastly whisk in your prepared egg whites until all is fully combined and creamy
To finish off, I like to add in a pinch or 2 of cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk in until just combined
Pour your eggnog into large jars and let chill covered in your fridge for a few hours prior to serving
Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top and a cinnamon stir stick if you're feeling extra fancy
