This gluten free and dairy free egg nog recipe is free from gluten and dairy products and filled with a delicious blend of vanilla, almond milk and cashews. A twist of cloves and nutmeg greatly enhances this healthy eggnog’s flavors.
Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 2 Minutes
Serves: 2 Cups
Ingredients:
• Raw cashews: ½ cup
• Unsweetened almond milk: 1 ½ cups (You can take any other nut based milk if required}

• Cloves: ⅛ tsp

3. Now put all ingredients in a blender and blend them well to get a smooth and consistent mixture.

5. You can make a chilled version of this gluten free and dairy free eggnog by adding ice cubes in the blender in step 3.

Can I make this recipe using something other than cashews? I have a peanut allergy, and as such, cannot eat any legums. Thanks!
