Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules (decaffeinated or regular, to taste)
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar substitute (suitable for baking)
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened whipped cream or low-carb whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the low-fat milk, instant coffee granules, and sugar substitute until the coffee dissolves.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the milk mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring the mixture gently to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly once it starts to thicken, and cook for an additional 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the pudding into four small serving dishes or ramekins and allow it to cool slightly at room temperature.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1-2 hours, or until fully set and chilled.
Before serving, optionally top with unsweetened whipped cream or a low-carb whipped topping for added creaminess.
