This is a great low fat, low sugar pudding. Make it with soymilk and it packs in protein and calcium and best of all it only takes five minutes to make. My husband eats his with a big spoonful of hot chocolate on top, I like to sprinkle a few chocolate chips into mine. Feel free to jazz it up - orange and cardamom, double chocolate, coffee custard….
Makes 1 cup
4 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or essence)
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup plant milk
pinch salt
very small pinch turmeric (optional for color)
In a microwave safe bowl add cornflour and a small amount of milk combining well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave in bursts of 30 seconds stiring in between until thick. This takes about 3x 30 seconds in my microwave.
Great warm over a bowl of fruit or some apple crumble.
