Vegan Eggnog Pudding + 26 Sweet Ways to Enjoy the Dairy-Free Holidays

Over the weekend, we wrapped up the #DairyFreeHolidays Instagram Contest, hosted by Go Dairy Free and sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free, and I was in awe of the many sweet, festive beverages and desserts that were shared. We dairy-free people certainly don’t go without! I was also inspired to try something a little new, like this vegan eggnog pudding recipe.

Indeed there are no eggs in this delight (recipe below!), and most of the goodies you shared via the contest were vegan, too! I wish that I had time to post everything from that event, but with around 450 posts, it could take quite some time. So today I’m going to share three awesome things …

Author: Alisa Fleming

Serves: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups vegan eggnog (I use So Delicious Dairy Free Nog)
• Pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons non-GMO cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (can sub dairy-free buttery spread)
• 1 cup dairy-free whip (I used So Delicious Dairy Free CocoWhip)
• Ground nutmeg or cinnamon, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Place 1½ cups of the nog and the salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining ½ cup nog and cornstarch until smooth.
3. When the mixture in the saucepan just begins to steam, whisk in the cornstarch mixture.
4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken and barely reaches a boil, just a few minutes. Immediately reduce heat to very low and whisk as it cooks for 4 to 5 minutes, it should be relatively thick.
5. Remove from the heat, whisk in the coconut oil (or buttery spread) and let cool 5 minutes.
6. Pour into a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap touching the pudding. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
7. Fold in the whip, cover, and chill for another hour, or until ready to serve. Sprinkle each serving with a little nutmeg or cinnamon.
8. Whisk altogether until smooth. Bring to a simmer over med heat, let thicken as you whisk for about 3 minutes. Should thicken to a very thick sauce-like consistency, not quite pudding.Remove from heat, stir in:
9. ½ tablespoon coconut oil
10. Let cool 5 min.
11. Pour into a container and cover w/ plastic wrap. Let cool in refrigerator 2 hours.
12. Fold in ½ to ⅔ cup cocowhip. Return to fridge and chill until set.
