Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-sodium soy milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate variation)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Pinch of salt (optional, for flavor balance)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the low-sodium soy milk, cornstarch, and granulated sugar until the cornstarch fully dissolves. If making the chocolate variation, whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder as well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continuously stir the mixture to prevent clumps from forming.
Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken, approximately 7-10 minutes. It should resemble a pudding-like consistency.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add a pinch of salt if desired for a slight flavor enhancement.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Allow it to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Place the pudding in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Serve as-is, or garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair.
