Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup silken tofu
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon rum extract (optional)
Instructions
Combine the unsweetened almond milk and full-fat coconut milk in a blender to achieve a creamy base.
Add the silken tofu for a smooth, thick consistency, ensuring there's no residual water from the tofu before adding it.
Pour in the pure maple syrup to sweeten the nog, adjusting to taste if necessary.
Add the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, and salt to the blender. These spices and flavor enhancers will give your nog its distinctive taste.
If you desire a slight alcoholic flavor without the alcohol, add the optional rum extract.
Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or spice levels as preferred by adding a bit more maple syrup or nutmeg.
Pour the mixture into a large container or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the nog to chill properly.
Before serving, stir the nog well as some separation is natural. Serve cold in glasses, garnishing with an extra sprinkle of nutmeg on top, if desired.
