Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 cup Egg substitute (liquid, cholesterol-free)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Optional: Rum or bourbon (for an adult version)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, egg substitute, and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly to prevent curdling. Heat the mixture until it reaches 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Do not let it boil.
Once the mixture thickens slightly, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Allow the eggnog to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher or large container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Before serving, stir the eggnog to ensure smoothness. If desired, add rum or bourbon to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
Pour into glasses, sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for garnish, and enjoy!
