Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml unsweetened soy milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually whisk in the soy milk, ensuring no lumps form, until the mixture is smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk or spatula to prevent sticking and lumps.
Cook the mixture until it begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Once it starts to bubble gently, reduce the heat to low.
Continue stirring for an additional 1-2 minutes until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into serving bowls or ramekins, allowing it to cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy as is or topped with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
