Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated erythritol
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon stevia glycerite (optional for added sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the granulated erythritol and stir continuously until it melts and turns golden brown, this will take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and salt. Add a small amount of the almond milk to the cornstarch mixture, stirring until a smooth paste forms.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the remaining almond milk into the saucepan with the butter and erythritol, stirring until fully incorporated. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 4

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 5

Continue to cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until the pudding thickens. This should take around 6-8 minutes. Be sure to cook it long enough for the cornstarch taste to disappear.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and optional stevia glycerite for additional sweetness, if desired.

Step 7

Pour the pudding into serving dishes or a large bowl.

Step 8

Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming as it cools.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 10

Serve cold and enjoy your sugar-free butterscotch pudding!
