Origin Rich Almond Milk Eggnog

Eggnog is a traditional holiday drink with roots in 17th-century Europe, often made with cream, eggs, and warm spices. This modern version uses almond milk for a lighter, dairy-free alternative without sacrificing the festive flavor.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s luxuriously creamy, perfectly spiced, and doesn’t leave you feeling too heavy. The almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with cinnamon and nutmeg — great for vegans or anyone avoiding dairy!

Ingredients

• 3 cups unsweetened almond milk

• 4 large egg yolks

• ⅓ cup maple syrup or sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp ground nutmeg

• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• Optional: ¼ cup bourbon or rum (for a boozy version)

• Ground nutmeg or cinnamon, for garnish

• Whipped coconut cream (optional)

Directions

• a medium saucepan, whisk together almond milk, egg yolks, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
• Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches about 160°F (71°C), but do not boil.
• Remove from heat and let it cool. For extra smoothness, strain through a fine mesh sieve.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Stir before serving. Garnish with a pinch of nutmeg and whipped coconut cream if desired. Add bourbon or rum for an adult version.

Notes

• Use pasteurized eggs or heat to 160°F for safety.
• Almond milk keeps this lighter, but oat milk or cashew milk can be used for extra creaminess.
• Can be made 2–3 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
