Vegan “Egg Nog” Recipe

The holidays are here which means time for the delicious seasonal drink, egg nog.  For a much healthier, vegan alternative, you can make it without eggs using a bit of tofu and some soy milk.  This refreshing drink can be made anytime of year; it’s so good and easy you’ll probably want to make it all the time anyway!

Ingredients (vegan) :

• 2 10-oz packages silken regular or low-fat tofu
• 16 oz. vanilla soymilk
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 tablespoon ground tumeric
• 1/2 to 1 cup rum or brandy (for a non-alcoholic version you can use fruit juice)
• nutmeg to taste

Preparation:

In a blender, combine all ingredients except nutmeg; blend thoroughly, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides.  Serve well-chilled and dusted with nutmeg.
