I always feel like something is missing when I try store-bought vegan holiday nogs, so I knew I had to create my own eggless nog for the holidays. It features full-fat coconut milk, a twist that provides richness and a luxurious creamy texture that’ll stick to your spoon! Seriously, this nog is thick, as it should be. Fresh nutmeg lends an authentic flavour and is a must here; I use it generously, but feel free to add it to taste. Be sure you don’t swap the fresh nutmeg for the pre-ground stuff, as pre-ground nutmeg is much stronger and will throw the flavours off. This nog tastes best served super cold, so I recommend making it several hours before you need to serve it—or better yet, make it the night before.

Total Time
5 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 (14-ounce/398 mL) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) unsweetened almond or cashew milk
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons (60 to 75 mL) pure maple syrup, to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy-free vegan butter, melted (optional)
  • 3 to 4 teaspoons fresh grated nutmeg, to taste
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch fine sea salt, to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Bourbon, rum, or cognac, to taste (optional)

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients (except alcohol, if using) into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Transfer the nog to a 1-litre mason jar and secure lid. Chill in the fridge for several hours, or overnight if possible.
  3. Once cold, shake the jar well to recombine. Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh nutmeg, and add alcohol to taste, if using.
  4. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a few days.
  • This nog will thicken more as it chills. If the nog is too thick for your liking, you can thin it with a bit more almond milk. Adjust other flavours if necessary.
  • Love coffee? This nog tastes great in a holiday nog latte!
