In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! Eggs are not dairy (they are from chicken not cows) It is a common mistake.

In reply to Jessica. I was so excited to make this recipe of homemade non dairy eggnog. But then I read that this recipe has eggs. How is this non-dairy?

In reply to Cooking Dad. Hey there, I am so sorry this did not live up to your expectations. Can I ask what brand of coconut milk you used? That can make a world of difference in flavor and texture. I recommend full-fat canned coconut milk for best results.

I am a dad who cooks for a family of four. We have gluten and dairy free restrictions. I was really eager to try this recipe. I made it on Christmas day for a company as well as ourselves. I was really disappointed that the flavors were extremely weak. Did not really taste like eggnog. I do want everyone to know that I made no substitutions and follow the instructions to the letter. I have made several batches in the past with different recipes and always came out with an excellent product. I won’t be trying this one again I am sorry to say.

In reply to Jessica. I prefer lightly cooking the eggs, as this will remove the concern for salmonella and help to thicken up the eggnog.

Excited to try this. Question: do you have to cook the eggs? I thought they were supposed to be raw?

Wow! I’m never going back to store bought egg nog again. Thank you for this experience. I even didn’t do the heating and pouring in the blender the right way and it still turned out well. Great recipe. Please continue making these available for dairy free people like me ☺️.

I used a vitaminix blender.

Delicious! To be fair, I did change up a couple things. I added a 1/3 cup maple syrup instead of 1/4th cup. And personally, I would probably add 1/2 cup in future. I usually put the eggnog in coffee or add milk anyway so it dilutes it. Also I doubled the Spices. I think next time I would do 1 and 1/2 times on the spices instead of double but I would keep the doubled vanilla. And I did 1 1/12 tsp rum flavoring and I would do that again. Overall I’m very happy with this recipe. Thank you!!!

In reply to Sol. Hi Sol! I would just caution you that it may not thicken or be as rich.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. Haven’t tried it yet but wondering if you could use another dairy free milk alternative like oat milk. Thank you!

I am so excited to try the egg nog recipe. I make pies for my grandchildren's birthdays. One wanted an egg nog pie in June but had to wait till later. With this recipe I'll be able to make it any time of the year. Thanks.
What were the substitute amounts for the spices?

In reply to Glenn McGrew. Hi Glenn! I am sorry you didn't care for the seasonings, but am glad you were able to adapt to your likings and enjoy with your son!

I wasn't able to get the entire mixture into my 6-cup blender, partially I suppose because the egg & sugar mixture frothed up so well. After blending everything (3), I put it back into the pot with the remainder that didn't go in, then I tasted it when it looked good and frothy.

Sorry, but the proportion of flavorings and spices to the liquids was way off for us. Maybe you're one of those people with super-sensitive tastebuds. I had to add a lot more nutmeg and cinnamon, and sugar, too! I'd say I added at least a tablespoon more of nutmeg and cinnamon each, and probably 2-3 tbsp of sugar.

I do thank you for providing the basis for my son's very first taste of warm eggnog.

Amazing! The best recipe ever! I had three egg yolks left over from making macarons and saw your recipe as my first hit. A winner! This one is a keeper! Only problem is I am going to drink the whole batch before anyone gets a chance to try it!:) I guessedimated on the measurements because I only had three and not four eggs. Not to worry folks, there is lots of wiggle room in this recipe and still end up with a great product. Thanks!

In reply to Jessy. Hi Jessy, this definitely has notes of coconut. I don't like coconut flavor alone, but I do like this--but it stronger on coconut that not. You could try with almond milk, it will just not be as thick or creamy.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. I'm not a huge fan of the taste of coconut but I want to try this since I'm lactose intolerant. Does it have an overpowering coconut taste or is it light?

In reply to MPerry. I am so glad you enjoyed so much MPerry. Great suggestions for straining beforehand as well. The recipe states it serves 8--hope that helps regarding Nutrition facts :)
