Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat, constantly stirring with a whisk or a wooden spoon to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom.
Step 3
Continue to cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and bubble gently. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate to serve chilled. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 6
Before serving, stir well and drizzle over your favorite dessert. Enjoy your dairy-free treat!
