Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons rum extract or bourbon (for adult version)
Instructions
- Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator). Drain and rinse.
- Combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt in a high-speed blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you may need to blend for a longer period and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness and spices to your liking.
- Chill the eggnog for at least a few hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to thicken.
- Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick before serving. Add rum extract or bourbon for an alcoholic version.
