Almond Milk Pudding Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, and sugar until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth without any lumps.
  2. Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or spoon as the mixture heats up to prevent it from sticking to the bottom and forming lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the pudding thickens and begins to gently bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor throughout the pudding.
  4. Chill to Set: Pour the hot pudding into serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and chilled.
  5. Serve: Once set, the almond milk pudding is ready to be enjoyed on its own or topped with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, increase the cornstarch to 4 tablespoons.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk if you prefer a less sweet dessert and adjust sugar accordingly.
  • Ensure to whisk constantly while cooking to avoid lumps and burning.
  • Can be flavored with other extracts like almond or coconut for variety.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
