In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a smooth slurry and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add erythritol sweetener, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Slowly add the coconut milk and almond milk to the caramel mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate smoothly and prevent any lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry, continuing to stir constantly until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Pour the mixture evenly into four ramekins or serving cups.
Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set and chill.
Before serving, optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
