After two Christmas savory recipes, today I want to show you how to make this delicious simple vegan eggnog because is my favorite Christmas drink.?
Eggnog is not very common here in Spain, but since I tried it a few years ago, I just fell in love with this creamy beverage. Since I’m vegan, I make a vegan version and it tastes even better than the original one, besides, it’s healthier and cruelty-free, yay! ?
I hardly ever drink alcohol, so I prefer non-alcoholic eggnog, but you can add some rum, bourbon or brandy, it’s up to you.
Cheers, it’s almost Christmas! ?
Tips:
- You can use another plant milk. I love coconut milk because it makes the eggnog so creamy.
- If you don’t like cashews or they’re expensive in your area, feel free to add more coconut milk or use any other nut instead.
- Maple syrup is my favorite sweetener, but the recipe will work if you use another one, just add it gently until the eggnog is sweet enough for you.

Hi Tayah! Thank you so much 🙂
Can you serve it hot?
Hi Sarah! I’ve never tried it hot, so I’m not sure, but I think it could work 🙂
Hi. Love this! For how many days will it last? Also, where do you store it? I stored it in the fridge but it solidified I guess because of the coconut milk. Some running warm water made did the trick but I was hoping there is a better storing recommendation. Thanks!
I am also wondering how long it will last when refrigerated. I’ve made this twice in the last week and it’s been a hit with the other half and the neighbors!
Hi! I keep it in the fridge for 4-5 days, maybe a week… Shake the eggnog before using it 🙂
Your recipe looks and sounds delicious. We have nut allergies in our household. How much cocnut milk would I use to replace the soaked cashews? 1/2 cup?
Hi Valerie! I would add 1/2 cup of coconut milk and maybe dates instead of maple syrup to thicken the eggnog, but maple syrup is also okay 🙂 You could also use 1/2 of seeds, for example, sunflower seeds. Hope you enjoy it!
How many ounces of eggnog does this recipe make?
Hi Jason! About 22 oz 🙂
