Ingredients

• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 8 ounces Silken tofu
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Toasted sliced almonds
• 0.5 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., berries or sliced peach) for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, silken tofu, almond extract, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and honey or maple syrup.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps of tofu or cornstarch.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat on the stove.

Step 4

Stir the mixture constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon. As it heats, it will begin to thicken due to the cornstarch. This should take about 7-10 minutes.

Step 5

Once the pudding has thickened to a custard-like consistency, remove it from the heat.

Step 6

Stir in the chia seeds while the pudding is still hot. The chia seeds will further thicken the pudding as it cools.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into serving dishes or ramekins and cool them at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Cover the puddings with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely chilled and set.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish each pudding with toasted sliced almonds and a handful of fresh fruit. Serve and enjoy.
