Ingredients
- 15 oz can full fat coconut milk
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoon corn starch
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup strawberries optional
- ¼ cup blueberries optional
Instructions
- Add ½ cup of almond milk to a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of corn starch. Whisk together until combined. Set aside.
- Heat coconut milk over medium-low heat, melting and whisking to combine. Add maple syrup, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
- When coconut milk begins to steam add the almond milk and corn starch to the pan, whisk constantly to avoid lumps. Cook over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Cover with plastic wrap so that it's resting on top of the pudding. This will eliminate the top skin that forms on the pudding. Refrigerate for 1 ½-2 hrs or until pudding is firm and completely cool.
- While pudding is cooling cut strawberries into think strips.
- When pudding has set, remove from the refrigerator. Using the slices of strawberries form a star shape, and place blueberries between the strawberry slices and in the middle to form a star design. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use canned full-fat coconut milk for a rich thick consistency.
- If you prefer a less sweet flavor reduce the amount of maple syrup.
- Be sure to warm the coconut milk in the pan on low heat until well combined.
- Whisk corn starch into almond milk well. Slowly add to the coconut milk on the stove whisking consistently so no lumps form.
- I poured into 3 ramekins to fill all the way to the top. Serving size will depend on the size of your cups or ramekins.
- Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
