Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener (e.g., stevia, sucralose)
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, heat the mixture until it begins to thicken, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Once the mixture starts to thicken, reduce the heat to low. Continue stirring to avoid any lumps.
Add the sweetener, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, and the pudding is smooth.
Cook the pudding on low heat for an additional 3-5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly, until the pudding reaches the desired thickness.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool slightly.
Divide the pudding evenly among four serving dishes or ramekins.
If desired, top each serving with slivered almonds for added texture and flavor.
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least one hour or until fully chilled.
Serve the pudding cold and enjoy your low-fat almond treat!
