Description
Tis the season for an eggnog! But rather than the excessive dairy festival that is conventional eggnog, make up this delicious batch of dairy-free eggnog with coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup and cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups canned, full-fat coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom

- 1 vanilla bean, scraped
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 4 egg yolks
- whipped coconut cream, optional (or use the store-bought version)
Instructions
- In a large pot on medium low, combine milk, almond extract, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla bean and maple syrup. Don’t let the pot come to a boil.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk four egg yolks until small bubbles appear.
- Take a small amount of the hot milk mixture and temper the yolks.
- Once the yolks reach the same temperature, add the yolks into the pot with the hot milk mixture.
