Eggnog’s warm and festive flavours coupled with its rich and creamy texture makes it the perfect drink on its own–or even better, when combined with coffee to make this Dairy Free Eggnog Latte!

Some notes on making Dairy Free Eggnog Latte

• The egg yolk is not necessary for taste, but it does create a creamier texture which is important if you’re using watered down carton nut milks. If using canned full fat coconut milk or other high fat nut milk, then the egg yolk is less important.
• If you want a frothy latte and don’t have an espresso machine with a steam wand, you can use a blender, immersion stick or other frothing tool instead. Blend/froth warmed eggnog then pour into the espresso OR blend/froth eggnog and espresso together.
• If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can make this latte with 1/2 a cup of strong brewed coffee instead.
• Even if you don’t like eggnog, you just might enjoy this eggnog latte. The BF is proof of this. He hates eggnog, but he’s a coffee snob and enjoyed the combination of flavours in this recipe. BIG win for our Sunday latte experiment!

Ingredients

 

• 1 cup coconut milk , or other nut milk
• 1-2 tsp. maple syrup or coconut sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1-2 shots espresso
• 1 pastured egg yolk, optional (see notes above)

Instructions

• Brew espresso then combine the eggnog with the espresso.
