Eggnog is a popular beverage typically consumed during the holiday season, often spiked with rum or brandy. This vegan eggnog recipe is a dairy-free alternative that still captures the richness and flavor of traditional eggnog. The use of silken tofu provides a creamy texture and added protein, while the remaining ingredients provide sweetness and spice. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a healthy substitute in baking recipes that call for eggnog.

1.	In a blender, combine the tofu, rice/soy milk, and sucanat/dry sugar until well blended.
2.	Add the apple juice/rum, vanilla, and nutmeg, and blend again until smooth.
