Creamy Non Dairy Butterscotch Pudding Recipe
I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience in re-creating this recipe; disclosure policy available here.
- 1 cup almond or cashew milk
- 1 TB butter
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (the darker the better)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add cornstarch and brown sugar to a medium saucepan on low heat. Stir until all clumps are broken up, then add butter and stir until melted and well mixed with dry ingredients.
Increase heat to medium-low and add almond milk. Watch vigilantly and stir frequently to avoid clumps while pudding thickens. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat, pour in holding container and put in fridge until fully chilled.
To make the dark chocolate ganache
- 1 cup dairy free dark chocolate
- 1 cup coconut milk
Bring coconut milk to a simmer in a small saucepan.
Break chocolate into small pieces and add to coconut milk. Which vigorously until well combined and smooth.
Pour ganache into your serving glass and allow to cool. Spoon pudding on top of ganache and finish with dairy free whipped topping and shaved dark chocolate for garnish.
*Note: I use the term dairy-free because it’s safe to eat if you are lactose intolerant. There is a small amount of butter in this recipe, though it can easily be omitted.
