Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup blanched almond slices
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cornstarch and salt. Gradually whisk in the unsweetened almond milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk constantly as the mixture begins to heat up.
As the pudding mixture warms, add the granulated erythritol. Stir to combine, ensuring that it dissolves completely.
Continue cooking and stirring for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. The pudding is ready when it can coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract until they are well incorporated.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then pour it into serving dishes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Top each serving with a few blanched almond slices for added texture and a touch of elegance.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 hour before serving for the best consistency.
Enjoy your sugar-free almond pudding as a light and tasty dessert!
