Ingredients

Makes 1 serving

  • 2 cornstarch
  • 3 vanilla

Method

  1. Mix a little of the milk with the cornstarch to form a paste.

  2. Heat the rest of the milk gently to a simmer, then add in the cornstarch paste, agave and vanilla.

  3. Stir until thickened and serve with fruit.

Cook's notes

  • For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to ensure the cornstarch is fully incorporated before heating.
  • Whisk constantly while the pudding thickens to prevent any clumps from forming at the bottom of the pot.
  • Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding while cooling to prevent a 'skin' from forming.

Easy swaps

  • Swap almond milk for oat milk for a nut-free, creamier alternative.
  • Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of granulated sugar for a refined sugar-free option.
  • Add a teaspoon of almond extract if you prefer a more pronounced, nutty flavor profile.

Frequently asked

Is this almond-vanilla pudding gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free, provided you ensure your cornstarch and almond milk are certified gluten-free.

How do I thicken the pudding if it's too runny?

If the pudding hasn't reached your desired consistency, create a 'slurry' by mixing 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water, then whisk it into the pot over medium heat for another 2 minutes.
