In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the dairy-free milk, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes, then remove and whisk vigorously to keep the pudding smooth.
Return the bowl to the microwave and heat in 1-minute increments, whisking well after each interval, until the pudding thickens. This should take a total of 4-5 minutes.
Once the pudding is thick and creamy, stir in the vanilla extract or your chosen flavoring.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the pudding to fully set.
Optional: Add flavor mix-ins before serving to personalize your pudding with one of the eight options below.
