Description
This dairy-free Eggnog features nutty coconut milk, warming spices, and rich maple. It’s easy to make and as luxurious as traditional eggnog.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 egg yolks (from large eggs)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (+ more to taste)
- 2 (13.5-ounce) cans full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces bourbon (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, blend 4 egg yolks with ¼ cup maple syrup until light and fluffy. Alternatively, use a hand-held mixer to beat until fluffy. Leave this mixture in the blender.
- Combine 2 cans of coconut milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and heat until simmering, whisking often.
- Once bubbles form on the side of the pan, remove from heat. Slowly stream hot coconut milk into the egg mixture while blending.
- Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan over a fine-mesh strainer and heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and reaches 160℉.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and optional bourbon.
- Allow to cool, then refrigerate to chill completely before serving.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if desired.
- Serve chilled for best flavor.
