Description
This vegan vanilla pudding is smooth and creamy and so easy to make with 6 simple ingredients. Serve topped with vegan whipped cream for a fabulous dessert.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (150g) White Granulated Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 and 1/4 cups (540ml) Soy Milk*
- 2 Tbsp Vegan Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Serving (Optional):
- Vegan Whipped Cream
- Crushed Golden Oreo Cookies
Instructions
- Add white granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt to a saucepan and whisk them together.
- Add soy milk slowly and whisk it in. Heat on medium heat and whisk constantly while it heats.
- Bring to the boil and let it boil for a full minute, whisking all the time, until it thickens.
- Remove from the heat and add vegan butter and vanilla extract and whisk in.
- Pour into small glasses or ramekins and smooth down.
- To prevent the puddings from forming a skin on top, you can top them with plastic wrap (optional) so that the plastic wrap is pressed directly onto the surface of the puddings.
- Place into the fridge for 2-3 hours to set.
- Serve topped with Vegan Whipped Cream and crushed Golden Oreo cookies (optional).
Notes
*Cornstarch – works as the thickening agent in this pudding recipe. If you don’t want to use cornstarch you could experiment with tapioca or arrowroot, but we have not tested this ourselves.
*Soy milk – works great for this as it’s a creamy non-dairy option, but I’m sure you could use any non-dairy milk that heats well.
*Vegan butter – can be swapped for coconut oil, though vegan butter works best for flavor.
*Make Ahead: This vanilla pudding is a perfect make ahead dessert as it needs to set in the fridge anyway, so if you want to make it the day before that will be perfect.
*Storing: These puddings will keep very well in the fridge for up to a week.
*Nutritional information is for pudding only and excludes the optional vegan whipped cream and crushed cookies.
