We just had our first big snowstorm in Boston and I've spent the day in my kitchen trying out new recipes.
As the egg nog begins to disappear from the grocery stores, I'm still keen to hold on to this rich, winter treat.
Because real egg nog can be a bit overwhelming for the senses (as well as the stomach) with its cream and raw eggs, I've been fond of the dairy free So Delicious coconut nog I found at my supermarket. And today, I had a revelation: I can totally make that myself!
With a little taste testing, this is what I came up with for a dairy free, vegan and delicious homemade coconut nog.
Homemade Vegan Coconut Nog
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
2 Tbsp raw sugar
1 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground turmeric, optional (this gives the nog a mellow yellow color, without the egg yolks)
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk until it is steamy, but not quite boiling. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Remove from heat.
Stir in almond milk, vanilla, nutmeg and turmeric.
Serve warm or chilled. Add rum if desired (try coconut flavored rum!), and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
