I made this Vegan Vanilla Pudding for my family’s Sunday brunch last month. The vanilla made it smooth and creamy, and my mom said it beat the boxed kind.
Delicious Vegan Vanilla Pudding Recipe
This classic vegan vanilla pudding sets perfectly and provides a rich, velvety mouthfeel. The recipe takes about 20 minutes to prepare and makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter (optional for richness)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Flavor: Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and vegan butter, if using, until fully melted and combined.
- Chill: Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool at room temperature for a few minutes before covering it with plastic wrap (pressing it directly on the surface to prevent a skin) and refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- Serve: Once set, stir gently before serving. Enjoy it plain or topped with fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
