Dairy Free Eggnog Recipe
This creamy dairy-free eggnog is a rich, spiced twist on the classic drink, made with oat milk, coconut milk, and warm flavors of nutmeg and vanilla. It’s smooth, naturally sweetened, and perfect for sipping chilled or spiked with your favorite spirit for a cozy treat.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Unsweetened creamy oat milk
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk (canned, shaken well)
- 4 Large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup rum, cognac, or bourbon
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes pale, smooth, and slightly thickened.
- In a saucepan, combine the oat milk, full-fat coconut milk, maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. This helps infuse the spices and keeps the mixture silky.
- Slowly ladle a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Add 2 to 3 more ladles gradually to bring the temperatures together, then pour everything back into the saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and bourbon, rum, or cognac if using. Let the mixture cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle with extra fresh nutmeg before serving.
