Method

Prepare the cashews

Soak the cashews overnight (or for at least 2 hours), then strain and rinse well.

Blend the ingredients

Optional infusion

For added depth of flavor, gently heat the nog with 1-2 star anise for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavor to infuse. Remove the star anise before serving.

Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely creamy and smooth.

Chill and serve

Transfer the Vegan Eggnog to the fridge to chill. Serve cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Recipe Notes

Notes:

Although this drink is usually served chilled, you could also try and drink it warm.
If you like it chilled, I suggest you keep it in the fridge 1 or 2 hours before serving.
You could use any type of unsweetened plant milk, but coconut milk is the best choice.
Feel free to use any type of sweetener instead of maple syrup.
Although the cashews give the vegan eggnog a creamy texture, feel free to add ½ cup of coconut milk and dates instead of maple syrup to thicken the eggnog if you can’t eat them.
