Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1 package dairy free jello mix
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine almond milk, sugar, and dairy free jello mix. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure no dry mix clumps remain.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, continuing to whisk. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken and becomes smooth.
- Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract, mixing well to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Pour the pudding mixture into individual serving dishes or a large mixing bowl, using a spatula to scrape all the mixture from the pan.
- Allow the pudding to cool at room temperature for about 5 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface to prevent skin formation.
- Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled and set.
- Before serving, you can optionally garnish with dairy-free whipped topping, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: Ensure all dry ingredients are completely dissolved to prevent lumpy pudding.
- Constant Stirring: Keep stirring while heating to prevent burning and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Cool Carefully: Press plastic wrap directly onto the pudding's surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill Completely: Allow at least 2 hours of refrigeration for the perfect set and texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with dairy-free whipped cream, fresh fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always check the expiration dates on your almond milk and jello mix for the best results.
- Temperature Matters: Remove from heat immediately when the pudding starts to thicken to prevent overcooking.
