In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the almond milk and granulated sugar. Whisk them together over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to create a smooth slurry. Gradually add this to the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, add the ground almonds, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Ensure the pudding is smooth and reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Serve the pudding chilled, optionally garnishing with sliced almonds or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
