Vanilla Pudding (Vegan)
This vanilla pudding is luscious, full of vanilla flavor and easy to make. A dairy-free, sweet treat that is great for a last minute dessert idea.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plant based milk
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup / 150 grams cane sugar
- 2 vanilla bean pods- slice each pod open and scrape out all the seeds, discard the pods
- 4 tbsp / 56 grams plant based butter with salt
Instructions
- Add the sugar and cornstarch to a medium pot; whisk to combine. Add the milk and seeds removed from the vanilla bean pods; whisk until all ingredients are combined.
- Set the pot over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Keep stirring occasionally as the pudding heats up and begins to thicken. Once the desired thickness is reached (this process took me about 12 minutes), remove the pot from the heat and add the butter. Stir until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.
- Pour the pudding into a heat safe container and allow it to cool down. To avoid a skin forming on the surface, cover the pudding with plastic wrap before placing it in the refrigerator. The pudding will keep well in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
