Ingredients

• 2 cups Skim milk
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
• 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts
• 1 tablespoon Chopped pistachios
• 0.5 cup Fat-free whipped topping
• 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 3/4 cups of skim milk, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup of skim milk. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.

Step 3

Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Continue to stir constantly until the pudding thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Fold in 2 tablespoons of chopped almonds, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts, and 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios into the pudding.

Step 6

Divide the pudding into four serving dishes or bowls. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set.

Step 7

Before serving, top each chilled pudding with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.
