Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a regular chicken egg instead of a duck egg?

While you can use a chicken egg, the duck egg adds a richer flavor and texture to the eggnog. If you don't have a duck egg, a chicken egg will still work, but it might not be as rich.

Can I make this eggnog ahead of time?

It's best to make this Almond Milk Eggnog fresh as the texture might change if you store it for too long. However, you can prepare the eggnog mixture without the topping and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving. Add the whipped topping and nutmeg right before serving.

What other plant-based milks can I use?

You can experiment with other plant-based milks like soy milk, oat milk, or cashew milk. However, keep in mind that the flavor might be slightly different.
