Ingredients

  • ¾ cup White Granulated Sugar (150g)
  • 3 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 2 ¼ cups Soy Milk (540ml)
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Serving (Optional):

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Vegan butter - can be swapped for coconut oil, though vegan butter works best for flavor.
  4. 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.
  5. Storing: These puddings will keep very well in the fridge for up to a week.
  6. Nutritional information is for pudding only and excludes the optional vegan whipped cream and crushed cookies.
