Vegan eggnog?!
Vegan eggnog?
Is it possible? Does anyone have recipes for vegan eggnog, or are there any companys out there that make "vegnog"?
Answers:
Vitasoy makes a self-stable Holly Nog that's pretty good, and I don't even like soymilk. You can probably get it at most decent-sized natural foods store.

Sounds digusting. But i would try it.
The taste in eggnog that makes it so memorable is the nutmeg. You could probably experiment a little yourself with vanilla soy milk and some fresh ground nutmeg- the preground stuff might work but you would have to let it sit a minute. You can add non dairy whipped cream to the top...
You can buy it. Silk makes a version. Look in the market/grocery store.
Vegan Eggnog
This recipe is excerpted from The Almost No-Fat Holiday Cookbook.
This "eggnog" will please even those who say they don't like soymilk. It's not too thick and cloying -- a very refreshing drink any time of the year. Make the eggnog mix ahead of time, then blend with the ice cubes just before serving.
2 (10.5 oz.) pkgs. reduced-fat, extra-firm, SILKEN tofu.
2 cup reduced-fat soymilk, or other plain, non-dairy "milk"
2/3 cup turbinado sugar, light brown sugar, or sucanat (or use 1/2 c. honey or 1 c. alternate liquid sweetener)
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup cold water
1 cup rum or brandy (or use apple juice with rum or brandy flavoring to taste)
4 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
20 ice cubes
freshly grated nutmeg
Place the crumbled tofu and the soymilk in a blender with the sugar and salt. Blend until very smooth. Scrape this into a large bowl or pitcher, and whisk in the water, rum or brandy, and vanilla. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate until serving time.
To serve, blend half of the mixture in the blender with 10 of the ice cubes until frothy. Repeat with the other half. Serve in glasses with nutmeg sprinkled on top.

Silk makes a soymilk eggnog, it's really good.
I did see Silk Nog at Whole Foods yesterday. I didn't check it for eggs though . . . but it might be worth a look.
