Equipment

  • Medium-sized saucepan
  • Whisk or a spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Blender or food processor (optional)
  • Pudding cups or ramekins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of plant-based milk
  • ¼ cup of cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • ¼ cup of natural sweetener 
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, you must whisk the dry ingredients together. You must mix cornstarch, sugar, salt, and any other dry ingredients you want to add to this recipe.
  • Gradually pour in the non-dairy milk, whisking constantly as you do so. This helps to incorporate the liquid into the dry ingredients and prevents lumps.
  • Once you have poured the non-dairy milk, place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and whisk it constantly as it cooks. The mixture should thicken as it heats up. This is why it is imperative to keep mixing to prevent lumps.
  • Once the mixture boils, reduce the heat and let it cool down for 2-3 minutes. You must continue to whisk the mixture during this time to ensure it thickens evenly and doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Once it cools down, remove the saucepan from the heat and add any additional flavorings to the recipe. This could include vanilla extract or melted chocolate
  • Pour the pudding mixture into individual cups and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours. This allows the pudding to set and thicken up fully.
    While preparing the pudding can take around 10 to 15 minutes, it will typically require at least 2 hours to solidify in the refrigerator. It will take 2 ½ hours for your pudding to be ready.
    Once ready, you can serve the dairy-free pudding with other dishes, including ice cream, pies, cakes, and more.
