Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 medium lemons)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup adjust for sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon juice, maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  2. Keep whisking as the mixture heats up; bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, continue whisking for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens up nicely.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and allow the lemon pudding to cool slightly. Then, pour the mixture into small bowls or containers and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until completely set.
  4. Once chilled, serve your Vegan Lemon Pudding cold, and garnish with your choice of fresh fruits or nuts!

Notes

For a thicker texture, increase the cornstarch by a tablespoon. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
