Save Recipe

Add a little rum for boozy eggnog or keep it simple for the kids; either way, it’s a must-have beverage for Christmas time. 

We can’t decorate our Christmas tree without a glass of vegan eggnog!  It’s the way I bribe my children to help me decorate.  I keep the soy nog blending, and they keep working on decorating!

Vegan eggnog always seemed like some mysterious drink you had to buy at the store, until I realized it’s just sweetened plant-based milk and some nutmeg.  It’s quicker to make your own than drive to the store to buy it!

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Plant-based milk – I usually use oat milk, cashew milk, or soy milk because they are rich and creamy to start, but any plant-based milk you want, like rice milk, almond milk, or even hemp milk, will work.
  • Oil – Optional, but adds a rich, creamy texture.  Leave it out for oil-free.
  • Sweetener: You can use any sweetener you choose.  Sweeten to your taste. (You can also use dates.  Just throw a few in with 1 cup of the milk, blend, and then add the rest of the ingredients.  You may want to start by adding 1/2 of the recommended sugar and adding more to taste. I like the flavor that brown sugar or maple syrup adds to the eggnog.
  • Nutmeg –  This is the spice that gives the eggnog its flavor.  (You can add a dash of cinnamon, too.)
  • Vanilla Extract – for additional flavor.  You can omit it if using vanilla milk.
  • Rum –  Optional, of course, but it will warm you up! (About 1 shot in a batch gives it a nice flavor, and is not overwhelming).

Making homemade dairy-free eggnog is that simple!  You will never need to buy it again, and you will save money on groceries this holiday season!

Pro Tips

  • You can use less sugar than this.  This amount of sugar gives it a similar sweetness level to store-bought soymilk if you are using plain soymilk.
  • The amount of sugar needed will vary by your taste and the sweetness level of the plant-based milk you are using.
  • Feel free to omit the oil.  It just makes it a little richer and creamier.

How to store vegan eggnog

Just store this homemade eggnog in an airtight container in the fridge, and it will keep for up to 5 days.  If you want it to be frothy and creamier, just toss it back in the blender for a few seconds before serving.
