There are few things more Christmasy (not a real word, I know) than a glass of eggnog. I created this vegan eggnog recipe for my cousin Jillian last year and it was a huge HIT, our crew preferred it over the traditional stuff (it’s also on Jilly’s site here… she has SO many great holiday ideas if you haven’t already checked them out)!
Lighter on the calories with the same amazing nostalgic flavours of the real deal, I have no idea why we only make it once a year! This recipe simply couldn’t get any easier: just throw it all in a blender and serve! Which leaves you more time for wrapping … which I should probably start at some point!
Happy Holidays!

Instructions

Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender until frothy. Pour into 4 of your favourite small glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Add rum if you’re so inclined!

This sounds yummy! And the whole idea of raw eggs freaks me out so it’s great alternative! Is full fat coconut milk the tinned kind? Totally making this Christmas Day!! (With rum!!!) Happy holidays to you and yours!!
Hi Rhea! Yes the tinned kind! Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!!
Yum! Will vanilla almond milk work in place of the soy beverage??
Merry Christmas!🎄
I wonder if almond milk will give the same flavour?
It won’t taste as rich but you will get a similar flavour!
Hey Tori,
Have you ever made cinnamon buns with your bun recipe??
Yes they turn out amazing!!
Sounds delish! Your bun recipe is the BEST…..my ‘go-to’ recipe. Merry Christmas you guys, enjoy the holidays!!
Merry Christmas to you too Lana!
Is the soy milk unsweetened?
Yum! Sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try it! Can you substitute the soy milk for cashew, more coconut milk or a different vegan milk? Merry Christmas & Happy New Years!!!
Hi Jamie, thanks for the comment! Yes you could substitute the soy milk – I preferred it over almond milk but it was just a slight texture preference – you can adapt it as you wish! Merry Christmas!! Tori
