Classic Christmas Vegan Eggnog

There’s no denying that this creamy vegan version of a Christmas classic certainly hits the spot with its notes of nutmeg, allspice, and ginger! This vegan eggnog is made with lots of cashews and coconut milk which makes it quite thick so a little goes a long way!! However, if you find that the eggnog is TOO thick, feel free to add more water to thin it out your desired consistency.

The best way to serve this delicious holiday treat up (in my humble opinion … LOL!) is serving it warm with rum (’tis the season, right?!) and garnished with whole cinnamon sticks or freshly grated nutmeg! It will have you (and your guests) coming back (or stumbling back?? LOL) for more!

Let’s dig into the recipe!
