Vegan Lemon Pudding is a delightful and invigorating dessert that showcases the bright flavors of lemon without any animal products. This creamy pudding is made with simple ingredients, yet it offers a luxurious texture and a tangy taste that’s sure to please both vegans and non-vegans alike.
Perfect for warm weather gatherings or as a sweet treat any time of the year, this pudding is light, airy, and bursting with citrus goodness. The use of cornstarch as a thickening agent gives this pudding its rich and smooth consistency, while the addition of coconut milk provides a subtle creaminess that enhances the overall flavor.
This recipe can also be easily customized by incorporating different flavors or toppings, such as fresh berries or a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Whether served chilled or at room temperature, this vegan lemon pudding is a must-try for anyone looking to indulge in a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together over medium heat until well combined and smooth.
- Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to keep stirring to prevent any lumps from forming and to guarantee even cooking.
- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and pour it into serving bowls or a large dish. Allow it to cool at room temperature for a few minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator.
- Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it’s fully set and cold. This will enhance the flavors and texture, making it even more enjoyable.
- Before serving, you can garnish the pudding with additional lemon zest, fresh berries, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Extra Tips:
To make this pudding even more flavorful, consider experimenting with other citrus juices like lime or orange, or add a splash of your favorite plant-based milk for a different twist.
For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before cooking to guarantee there are no lumps. This pudding can also be made ahead of time, making it a great option for meal prep or entertaining guests.
Enjoy your invigorating vegan dessert!
