Ingredients
- 250 g Thin vermicelli noodles
- 800 ml Coconut milk
- 200 ml Water
- 150 g Sugar
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 1 strip Lemon peel
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by breaking the vermicelli noodles into smaller pieces, approximately 2-inch segments, to ensure easier mixing and cooking.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the coconut milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and salt. Place the pot over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture starts to heat up and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Once the coconut milk mixture begins to simmer, add the broken vermicelli noodles into the pot.
Step 4
Stir the noodles gently to prevent them from sticking together. Allow them to cook while stirring gently for about 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and discard the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate the flavor throughout the pudding.
Step 7
Pour the aletria into a serving dish or individual bowls. Smooth the surface with a spoon.
Step 8
Allow the aletria to cool slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour to set completely.
Step 9
Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for garnish and an extra hit of flavor.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your dairy-free aletria as a delightful indulgence!
