Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Skim milk
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Chopped pistachios
- 0.5 cup Fat-free whipped topping
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of skim milk, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
In a separate small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup of skim milk. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Continue to stir constantly until the pudding thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Fold in 2 tablespoons of chopped almonds, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts, and 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios into the pudding.
Divide the pudding into four serving dishes or bowls. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
Before serving, top each chilled pudding with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.
