Ingredients
  

For the Eggnog:
  • 2 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (refrigerated)
  • 2 large eggs (pasteurized)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (or sugar alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Medium saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Strainer

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, pour in 2 1/4 cups of unsweetened almond milk. Heat it over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scalding.
  2. While the almond milk is heating, crack open 2 large pasteurized eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar (or your preferred sugar alternative) and whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Once the almond milk is warm, take a small amount and slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Gradually add more almond milk to the egg mixture until it is well combined.
  4. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan with the remaining almond milk. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  6. Allow the Almond Milk Eggnog to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled, and enjoy the festive flavors!

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, blend in a tablespoon of almond butter before chilling.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Sweetened almond milk can be used, but reduce additional sugar to avoid over-sweetening.
