Eggnog – you either really love it or it is a hard pass! Our home fits firmly in the LOVE IT category and boy do we enjoy it during the holidays! This version is dairy free, but you could certainly make it with standard milk and cream. I am loving it frothed into an Eggnog Matcha Latte – it is delightful! Such a fun and festive way to level up your morning coffee or holiday beverages.
There are several dairy free sweetened condensed milk options available these days, so roll with whatever works best for you. I’ve used this brand and really enjoy it. If you don’t need dairy free you can of course use whole milk and the standard variety of sweetened condensed milk.
If eggnog is one of your favorite holiday flavors, you may also enjoy my Eggnog Sweet Rolls or my Eggnog Mousse! Both are so enjoyable and can provide such holiday warmth to any gathering or family party. The eggnog sweet rolls make for a very tasty Christmas morning offering. An unexpected, but most welcome, spin on your upcoming holiday morning.
Eggnog Creamer (Dairy Free/Paleo)
Course: beverageDifficulty: Easy8
servings5
minutes6
minutesIngredients
1¾ cups Barista Almond and Oat Milk, or milk of choice
12-14 oz Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
¼ cup Pure Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1½ -2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1½ -2 tsp Rum Extract
¼ tsp Sea Salt
Directions
- Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and slowly warm over low heat, whisky well as it warms up. No need to boil, this step allows the flavors to mingle and the coconut oil in the condensed milk to incorporate. If the brand of condensed milk you use doesn’t have coconut oil in it, I still suggest warming all the ingredients, it really does help infuse the creamer!
- Remove from the heat and pour into a heat proof jar with an airtight lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days.
- When ready to enjoy, you can pour directly into your warm beverage or froth, pour and enjoy!
Notes
- If the brand of sweetened condensed coconut milk you use contains coconut oil, it will not work well in iced beverages as the oil will solidify when cold. For iced drinks, shop for a brand without coconut oil. Warming all the ingredients together – even if there is no coconut oil – really does help infuse the creamer with all those gorgeous eggnog spices!
