Sweetened to perfection with granulated sugar and thickened with cornstarch, it comes together in just 25 minutes, making it a quick and easy treat for any occasion. Hints of pure vanilla complement the nutty flavor, while a sprinkle of sliced almonds adds a delightful crunch to every bite. Enjoy this chilled dessert as a light yet decadent way to satisfy your sweet tooth, perfect for plant-based diets or anyone seeking a lactose-free alternative.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of almond milk and the granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of almond milk with the cornstarch until smooth and no lumps remain.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the warm almond milk and sugar mixture in the saucepan.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon, until the mixture starts to thicken and bubbles form around the edges, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the unsweetened almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until completely smooth and well combined.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or a large serving dish. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled and set.
Before serving, garnish the top with sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious, dairy-free almond pudding!
