Need a break from dairy and eggs, but still want to enjoy eggnog over the holidays? Try this vegan keto version using coconut cream as the base. Be sure to use freshly grated nutmeg too. It makes all the difference in the world. And while you don’t need the booze to help temper raw egg, it does add lovely flavours, even if you only use the alcohol-free extract versions.
Vegan Keto Creamy Coconut Eggnog
Ingredients:
- One 14-oz can coconut cream
- 1½ cups unsweetened coconut milk beverage (*Or any non-dairy milk.)
- 3-5 tablespoons gold erithrytol monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
- ⅓ nutmeg seed, grated (plus more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- Pinch fine sea salt , or to taste
Optional Add-in Ingredients:
- 1 oz bourbon, dark rum (or a blend) per 8 oz glass (*May sub with ⅛ teaspoon rum extract or bourbon extract.) -Freshly grated nutmeg, grated (plus more for serving)
Directions:
Add all ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend on high until creamy and smooth, around 30 seconds.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more nutmeg, sweetener, or salt. Transfer remaining eggnog to a jar or pitcher for storing.
When serving, stir in bourbon, dark rum (or a combination of the two), if desired. Top with a fresh grating of nutmeg. If everyone's adding booze (or booze extracts), feel free to add it into the blender with the rest of the ingredients. Leftovers should keep in the fridge up 5 days.
