Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened soy milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, unsweetened cocoa powder (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the soy milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, about 7-10 minutes. Be patient and continue whisking to prevent scorching.
Once the pudding reaches your desired thickness, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or one larger container.
Allow to cool slightly before covering and refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of nuts, or a dusting of cocoa powder for added flavor.
