Creamy, smooth, silky, this vegan eggnog is super simple to make and takes very little time to prepare. Serve it cold with some ice or as a hot latte with whipped coconut cream and gingerbread biscuits – it’s the festive season after all!

I’ve been totally addicted to eggnog this festive season and I’ve decided to tweak the traditional recipe here and there to turn it into a vegan eggnog. I must say, it was a great success in our house!

With it being the last week before Christmas, I’d love to say that the presents are all wrapped up, the house is sparkling clean, candles are all lit in anticipation of Christmas… However, the situation in our household is ‘a little bit’ different…

Instead, I am frantically trying to finish all the jobs that have been on my ‘to do list’ for weeks, meet all the deadlines, finish writing up all the festive recipes for the blog, edit thousands of photos as well as balance the family life, business and a day job…. Whoa, I think someone definitely needs a well deserved break!

Anyway, back to the no egg vegan eggnog! This eggnog is by far my favourite festive recipe yet. Taking a sip of this smooth and creamy brew, spiced with all the Christmas aromas, instantly wakes up all the joyful feelings this festive season brings.

Although this vegan eggnog is quite creamy and rich on its own, you can top it with a little whoosh of whipped coconut cream to make it an extra creamy heaven. Go on, it’s Christmas after all!

If you’re feeling extra festive, stick some homemade gingerbread biscuits on top of your cream and that’s what I call ‘Christmas in a mug’!

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS VEGAN EGGNOGG

  • It’s heavenly creamy
  • Smooth 
  • Rich 
  • Decadent 
  • All the aromas make it taste like ‘Christmas in a mug’
  • It’ll put you in the festive spirit the minute you take your first sip

LOOKING FOR MORE RECIPES FOR THE FESTIVE TABLE?

There is still time to make some delicious meals for your festive table:

  • Start with festive roasted butternut squash which is a great meat-free main dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas table. 
  • This easy yet nutritious Moroccan festive salad would make a delicious side.
  • Need ideas for Boxing day brunch? How about this easy vegan French toast or butternut squash pancakes or perhaps my family favourite gingerbread pancakes?
  • Fancy a little festive baking? Then try these healthy gingerbread biscuits, super easy chocolate cookies or waist-friendly healthy vegan chocolate tarts. 

May I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy every minute spent with your nearest and dearest over this holiday season, as this is what matters the most.

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup soaked cashews (soaked overnight in cold water or in hot water for 15 minutes), rinsed & drained
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 dates (soaked in hot water for 5 minutes & then drained)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp agave nectar (use more for a sweeter taste)
  • 1/4 tsp arrowroot powder
  • Optional: if you’re making an alcoholic option add 2 tbsp bourbon or rum

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients apart from arrowroot powder in a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the eggnog mixture into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. As soon as the mixture starts to bubble, add the arrowroot powder and keep stirring over low heat until the mixture is starting to thicken (for around 5 minutes).
  • As soon as you’ve reached the desired creamy consistency, take the eggnog mixture off the heat and let it cool down completely. Alternatively, you can serve it as a hot latte. If eggnog gets too thick when you serve it later, just add a splash of water to thin it out.

    I recently received a new blender and I think this would be a great recipe to break it in! I love eggnog so much but haven’t been able to enjoy it without a stomachache in years. I can’t wait to give it a try 🙂

In honour of the citrus season, this vegan upside In honour of the citrus season, this vegan upside down blood orange cake should definitely be on your menu 😏 🍊 No flour and no refined sugar make it light, fluffy, as well as waist friendly (healthy new year resolutions & all that jazz 😎) It’ll make a great dessert for Valentine’s Day too, if you happen to be planning your menu for it already 😉 On another note, I’m desperately looking forward to Friday...

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo

No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so.
