Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi all, I'm doing some last minute new year's eve preparations -- does anyone have a good recipe for egg nog made with nut milk rather than yogurt? I've been drooling over the egg nog in the grocery store all Christmas season and just now realized there must be a way to make egg nog with nut milk, right? I can't eat yogurt. Thanks!!

I would make egg nog ice cream base, and then add it to nut-milk cream. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I use this one that I found on goneraw.com * 3 tablespoons raw nut butter (use your favorite!) * 2 cups filtered water * 1 banana * 3 dates, soaked * ⅓ vanilla bean, seeds scraped (I used vanilla extract) * 4 dashes cinnamon, freshly ground * 1 dash nutmeg, freshly ground * 1 pinch sea salt Preparation Note: This version is on the rich and sweet side. You can dial back the richness by starting with two tablespoons of nut butter instead of three. Start with one or two dates if you prefer less sweetness. On the other hand, if you really want it to be decadent, try adding a smidge of coconut butter towards the end of the blending (the warmth caused by the blending will keep the coconut butter from seizing). Experiment with different nut butters, too! It is pecan season in Austin, so I used homemade pecan butter from my own trees. But I think walnut butter would be fabulous, as would almond, cashew, or macadamia. 1. Drain the dates and pour the soak water into the blender. Add enough filtered water to bring the total liquid up to 2 cups. 2. Add the nut butter and blend until smooth. If you like your beverages really smooth, especially if you are using a butter from a harder nut (almonds, for example), you might want to strain the milk and rinse the blender before proceeding with the next step. I skipped this step because I am lazy. 3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and whirr away! If you have a high-powered blender, you can blend the vanilla bean whole. Otherwise, scrape the seeds and reserve the pod for some other fragrant use (before my Vitamix, I put my scraped vanilla bean pods in a sachet in my underwear drawer!). Also, I tend to be stingy with my vanilla beans, so please feel free to use more than the recipe specifies if you are feeling carefree. A splash of vanilla extract is also fine to substitute if you like. 4. Adjust the seasonings to taste. I started slow with the nutmeg, because it can get a bit overwhelming. I used about four times as much cinnamon as I did nutmeg. 5. Blend one last time to combine, then pour into a festive glass and enjoy! Possible modifications: -Add a splash of almond extract for another dimension of flavor. -Add cloves, ginger, or cardamom for additional spicy warmth. -Add a bit of finely grated orange rind for a warm creamsicle effect. -Use frozen banana for a noggy shake!
