    Vegan Eggnog made with almond milk, coconut milk and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Perfect drink for Christmas and holiday season.

    Eggnog is a classic drink usually made during the holidays. It is traditionally made with milk or cream, sugar, raw eggs, some kind of alcohol and spices.

    I am skeptical about raw eggs in any food. So, I decided to make my version egg-free and also alcohol-free without losing the flavor or the creamy texture.

    This homemade vegan eggnog recipe is made with almond milk, coconut milk and ground soaked cashews. The combination of all these makes the drink thick, creamy and delectable.

    Warm spices add required oomph and deliciousness to this Christmas beverage. Nutmeg gives the eggnog its characteristic taste, so make sure to use freshly grated nutmeg.

    Make this vegan Christmas eggnog during the holiday season and enjoy!!

      The occasions are drawing closer and you're in a hurry. What will you serve for an occasion dessert? This formula joins two occasion flavors - cinnamon and eggnog - is a delightful completion of any feast. You can make the cake days ahead and solidify it. http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/03/eggnog-spice.html
