Ingredients and substitutions:

• Full fat coconut milk – the base of this delicious creamy egg nog is coconut milk. I recommend using full fat rather than low fat as low fat is more watery and won’t lead to thee same rich and creamy flavour. 
• Maple syrup – to give this healthy eggnog the perfect naturally sweet flavour while keeping it refined sugar greee. 
• Vanilla extract – to help enhance the beautiful, rich flavours of this vegan nog. 
• Tapioca starch – this is used to thicken this egg nog recipe. If you like a thinner egg nog you can simply omit it. You can also swap this for corn starch if you tolerate grains. 
• Spices: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and ground allspice all blend perfect to give this eggnog the most delicious rich flavour.
