Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 0.3333 cup maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup whipped coconut cream or non-dairy whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the almond milk and coconut milk over medium heat.
Whisk in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and a pinch of sea salt.
Heat the mixture gently, stirring often, until it is warmed through but not boiling. This should take about 5 minutes.
Taste the nog and adjust sweetness or spices as desired. Add more maple syrup for sweetness or more spices for depth of flavor.
Once heated, remove the nog from the heat and let it cool slightly. If you prefer a frothy texture, you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
Pour the no egg nog into mugs or glasses and top with whipped coconut cream or non-dairy whipped topping, if desired.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top of the garnish for a festive touch.
Serve warm or chilled. If serving chilled, allow the no egg nog to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
