Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Apple cider
- 1.5 cups Whole milk (or plant-based milk)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- as needed Whipped cream (vegetarian-friendly, optional)
- as needed Cinnamon stick (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, apple cider, and milk over medium heat. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the spices and sugar evenly.
Continue heating the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling (approximately 8-10 minutes). Do not let it boil, as this may cause the milk to curdle.
Once the mixture is heated through, taste and adjust the sweetness or spices to your liking by adding more sugar or spices if desired.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully ladle the Pumpkin Apple Nog into mugs or heatproof glasses.
Optionally, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall and winter!
