Cuisine: Low Carb
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash and dice the ripe peaches into small, uniform cubes, ensuring they are fresh and free from bruises.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, unsweetened almond milk, and chosen sweetener. Stir the mixture gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Sift the cornstarch into the saucepan to prevent lumps, whisking continuously to incorporate smoothly into the liquid.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning at the bottom.
- Continue cooking and stirring for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble slightly. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Transfer the pudding to serving dishes and let cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. The pudding will continue to set and thicken as it cools.
- Optional: Garnish with additional fresh peach slices or a light dusting of cinnamon before serving.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the most intense flavor. The riper the peach, the sweeter your pudding will be.
- Sift the cornstarch carefully to prevent lumps - smooth mixing is key to a creamy texture.
- Stir constantly while cooking to prevent the pudding from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Let the pudding cool naturally to achieve the perfect consistency - it will continue to thicken as it sets.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of almond extract.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the peaches before cooking for a more uniform pudding.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing summer dessert, or enjoy slightly warm for a comforting treat.
