Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, constantly stirring with a whisk or a wooden spoon to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom.
Continue to cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and bubble gently. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate to serve chilled. It will thicken further as it cools.
Before serving, stir well and drizzle over your favorite dessert. Enjoy your dairy-free treat!
