Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated erythritol
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon stevia glycerite (optional for added sweetness)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the granulated erythritol and stir continuously until it melts and turns golden brown, this will take about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and salt. Add a small amount of the almond milk to the cornstarch mixture, stirring until a smooth paste forms.
Gradually whisk in the remaining almond milk into the saucepan with the butter and erythritol, stirring until fully incorporated. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until the pudding thickens. This should take around 6-8 minutes. Be sure to cook it long enough for the cornstarch taste to disappear.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and optional stevia glycerite for additional sweetness, if desired.
Pour the pudding into serving dishes or a large bowl.
Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming as it cools.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Serve cold and enjoy your sugar-free butterscotch pudding!
