Eggnog is a great reminder to enjoy the holiday season while it lasts. Try these vegan eggnog recipes today.

Introduction

One of the most popular Christmas beverages is eggnog. Whether you prefer it spiked or not, eggnog isn’t ordinarily vegan because it has eggs and dairy.

Fortunately, there are so many vegan eggnog options at the grocery store and numerous vegan eggnog recipes online. After all, you can do more things with eggnog besides drinking it, from baking cupcakes to having waffles.

4. Eggnog Sticky Toffee Pudding

I haven’t had sticky toffee pudding before, but it’s a famous English dessert. Have vegan eggnog sticky toffee pudding from May I Have That Recipe.

5. Eggnog Cake

When I was little, my aunt baked birthday cakes for Jesus around Christmastime because that’s when people typically celebrate his birthday. If anyone you know has a December birthday, bake a vegan eggnog cake for them from The Banana Diaries.

There are more vegan cake options besides eggnog.

6. Eggnog Cookies

Santa Claus is coming to town soon, so we need to start baking cookies. One idea is having vegan eggnog cookies from The All Natural Vegan.

Then, bake more cookies.

7. Eggnog Cheesecake

The fanciest dessert I can think of is cheesecake. Have eggnog cheesecake from Addicted to Dates.

8. Frozen Eggnog Hot Chocolate

I like a mug of hot chocolate on a cold day. If you prefer Christmas in July, I recommend frozen eggnog hot chocolate from Veganosity.

Then, have more vegan hot cocoa.

9. Eggnog Cupcakes

On Saturday, I went to my cousin’s birthday party, and there were no cupcakes, even though she loves them. She could have made these eggnog cupcakes, a Crumbs & Caramel recipe collab with Rodelle Kitchen.

There are more cupcakes besides eggnog ones.

10. Eggnog Truffles

I’m more familiar with cake balls and pops than truffles, but many enjoy them. Try eggnog truffles from Blissful Basil.

One of my favorite things for breakfast and dessert is homemade bread. Bake vegan eggnog bread from Labeless Nutrition.

16. Eggnog Chocolate Chunk Scones

Even though I’m vegan, I still get tempted by the enormous chocolate chip cookies in the bakery section.

It would be better to have something smaller, like a vegan eggnog chocolate chunk scone from Sincerely Tori.

17. Eggnog French Toast Casserole

After a long holiday, it gets tiring cooking for everyone after a while. Give yourself a break by plopping an eggnog French toast casserole in the oven from Blissful Basil.

Everything tastes better when you add chocolate, especially desserts. Here’s vegan chocolate eggnog from Abbey’s Kitchen.
