I can’t count the number of times I’ve been asked for a vegan eggnog recipe. This gluten free, dairy free (egg free) eggnog is not too challenging to make and full of filling rich yumminess.

Unlike other eggnogs, it’s not too sweet and has a nice delicate nutmeg flavor. If you want to decrease the sweetness further, go with only 1 tablespoon of agave in the recipe below, or eliminate it entirely. You’ll still have the natural sweetness of the almonds and the rich round sweetness of yacón.

3 cups almonds
4 cups water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
2 tablespoons yacon syrup
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch ground cloves

Soak almonds overnight
Discard soaking water and rinse almonds in a deep bowl of water, repeat until water is clear
Place soaked almonds and 4 cups of water in a vitamix
Blend on highest speed for 90 seconds
Strain milk through a fine mesh paint strainer bag, discarding solids
Place almond milk in a 2 quart mason jar
Add vanilla, agave, yacon, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, then shake well
Refrigerate until cold and serve

As you all know, I love almonds. I wrote an entire gluten free cookbook on them called The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. So it was a lot of fun when I found this very positive article on almonds over at Men’s Health Magazine. Men’s Health is on the almond bandwagon!

Honey isn’t vegan, please don’t put it in a vegan recipe – even if it’s not the only option.

    maybe give it a different name or other option. I’m not vegan, use honey, and just loved this low fat option with almond milk.
