Whether you serve it warm or chilled, the spiced almond pudding offers a delightful experience that can be topped with fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
It’s an excellent choice for those looking for a gluten-free dessert option, and with just a few ingredients, it’s incredibly simple to make at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- Sliced almonds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps from the cornstarch.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to whisk the mixture constantly. As it heats up, the mixture will begin to thicken. Keep whisking until it reaches a pudding-like consistency, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This will add a lovely depth of flavor to the pudding.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or one large dish. Allow it to cool for a few minutes at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Before serving, garnish with sliced almonds or your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
Extra Tips:
If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the almond milk with coconut milk. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cardamom or ginger, to create a unique flavor profile.
This pudding can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, making it a convenient dessert option for gatherings or meal prep.
Enjoy your spiced almond pudding!
