We're all about simplifying cooking and preparation, and the Almond Cow is the perfect sidekick to help take some stress off your plate. No matter how you celebrate, we're sharing a few ideas for how the Almond Cow can lend a helping hand for all of your upcoming festivities.

Pie Crust

Pies are a MUST during the holidays! There are so many delicious options- Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Pecan Pie, Apple Pie, and the list goes on.

The recipe includes a cup of almond pulp from making Almond Milk in your Almond Cow. Homemade milk AND homemade pie crust?! Your guests will be so impressed.

Apple Cider

This beverage is a crowd favorite and will leave your kitchen smelling like cheer. Only four simple ingredients are needed to make this incredibly flavorful and festive drink. After making it in the Almond Cow, we recommend simmering it on the stove with cinnamon sticks and orange slices to bring out all of the delicious holiday flavors. Make a batch and serve it to your guests to warm their hearts and stomachs.

It's made using leftover pulp from making Chocolate Almond Milk in your Almond Cow and is the perfect way to ring in the holidays! This tart looks fancy, but it's surprisingly easy to whip up. It's rich, creamy, and full of delicious chocolate flavor. Garnishing with candy canes gives it the perfect festive touch!

Vegan Butter

Butter is a necessity during the holidays (and all the time), but making butter from scratch takes it to a whole new level. This vegan butter is creamy, spreadable, and melts perfectly on mashed potatoes, pancakes, and more! Plus, it's made using only six ingredients - easy and delicious. Our favorite way to use it is in our delicious Hot Buttered Rum recipe, a perfect treat to whip up over the holidays.
