Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (400 ml) Coconut milk
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Vegan butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and almond milk. Stir well to combine.
Add the light brown sugar and salt to the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and a small amount of the milk mixture to create a smooth slurry.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to bubble.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and vegan butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes. Let it cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled and set.
Serve the pudding cold, garnished with your choice of toppings such as whipped coconut cream or shaved dark chocolate if desired.
