Ingredients:
- 48 ounces unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup raw unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 5 dates, pitted and chopped
- 1 whole vanilla bean
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons dark rum (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, add the almond milk, shredded coconut, sliced almonds, sugar, dates, split vanilla bean and seeds, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and slowly bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally.
- Once the mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes.
- Remove the vanilla bean and cinnamon sticks and discard them.
- Using a kitchen blender, blend the eggnog on high for about 1 minute. Work in batches if necessary.
- Strain the eggnog through a fine chinois (strainer) into a glass or metal bowl. Use a wooden spoon to gently press the strained solids against the chinois to extract as much liquid and flavor as possible. Dispose of the solids. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
- Chill the strained eggnog for at least 1 hour or more if serving cold.
- To serve, stir about 1 tablespoon of rum per 1 cup of eggnog. Ladle the eggnog into serving glasses and garnish with a dash of nutmeg on top. If serving warm, add the rum and enjoy right away.
