This vegan eggnog latte (or as I call it, the nut nog latte) is a creamy blend of cashews, non-dairy milk, coffee, maple syrup, and nutmeg. Reminiscent of eggnog in flavour and creaminess, we love it as an afternoon pick-me-up in our house.
Good morning, and happy Saturday! Welcome to what seems to be a new weekly tradition of sharing a drink recipe! This vegan eggnog latte has quickly usurped my vegan gingerbread latte as my favourite warm drink. It’s a creamy, nourishing blend with a base of soaked raw cashews combined with warm non-dairy milk, maple syrup, nutmeg, and strong coffee or espresso.
vegan eggnog latte ingredients
- Soaked cashews, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and strong coffee or espresso.
how to make it
- Combine the milk, maple syrup, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm, whisking occasionally, until it’s heated to your liking. Whisk in the vanilla.
- Place the soaked cashews in an upright blender (preferably a high speed one, such as a Vitamix). Add the brewed coffee or espresso and the warmed milk mixture and blend, starting on low speed and increasing to high, until smooth.
- Wait a few seconds for the latte to settle and a layer of froth to develop on top before pouring into two mugs.
- Enjoy!
notes
- If you don’t have a high speed blender or you forgot to soak cashews, feel free to use 2 tablespoons of cashew or almond butter in place of the cashews.
- To make this nut-free, use 2 tablespoons of sunflower seed butter in place of the cashews and nut-free milk.
