Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the almond milk, maple syrup, and salt. Stir well to mix.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to heat up, stirring occasionally, until it just starts to steam.
Step 4
Once the mixture is steaming, slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture.
Step 5
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent clumping, until the sauce begins to thicken. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Step 7
Stir in the vanilla extract until completely incorporated.
Step 8
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving, as it will thicken further as it cools.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature over your favorite vegan desserts or breakfast items like pancakes or waffles.
