Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (unsweetened, fresh or canned in juice)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons erythritol-based sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional garnish)
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the pineapple by dicing it into small chunks if using fresh. If using unsweetened canned pineapple, drain and chop as needed. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of almond milk and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water to make a smooth slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan with the almond milk while constantly whisking.
Step 4
Add the erythritol-based sweetener, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir continuously to ensure the mixture doesn’t clump or stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Cook the mixture on medium heat for 5-7 minutes while stirring, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the pineapple chunks. Stir gently to evenly distribute the pineapple throughout the pudding.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for 10 minutes. Transfer the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large container.
Step 8
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 9
Before serving, optionally garnish with unsweetened shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
