If you make yummy vanilla pudding can you share your recipe?

Dd cannot have eggs or coconut, I keep vanilla soymilk on hand. I have arrowroot tapioca and corstarch for thickening.

Thanks

[la mamita]

milk/soymilk--a few cups
sugar to taste
cornstarch (a few tbsp)
vanilla extract--a few tsp

i like to add cinnamon as well, and i usually add eggs to thicken/add more protein.

i don't have an exact recipe, just mix the ingredients, whisk, boil while stirring constantly, pour into serving dishes and cool until thickened. you can easily adjust the sugar & vanilla to your liking, just taste it once everything is whisked together.

My recipe is similar to la mamita. I also make a chocolate version by adding cocoa powder (usually 2-3 Tbsp.)

2 cups milk
3 Tbsp cornstarch (use 1 T more if using 1% or skim milk)
3 Tbsp sugar (or more to taste)
1 tsp vanilla

You can make it on the stove or in the microwave. Whisk together (or combine with a fork) the cornstarch and sugar... then add in the milk. Cook on medium heat whisking occasionally at first, more constantly at the end until thick. Taste near the end and add more sweetener if you need/want it. Take off heat and add in vanilla. Eat warm or chill for later.

In the microwave, you don't need to worry about burning as much... but be sure to use a really large microwave safe bowl. Whisk everything together but the vanilla. Nuke on medium ideally (won't boil over as much) but high is fine..for 1 minute. Open and whisk. Continue to cook at 2-3 minute intervals. Whisk in-between. Should take around 5-7 minutes. Add in vanilla at the end.

We like to serve ours with fresh fruit. If you make it with vanilla soymilk, I'd hold off on extra vanilla extract until you taste it. I'd also start with less sugar. (I make it sometimes with almond milk.)

I also make an easy rice pudding sometimes for breakfast or a snack. Basically, I combine equal amounts of cooked rice (brown, white, etc.) and almond milk (plain or vanilla). I'll add a spoonful or two of sugar and then nuke for a few minutes. At the end, I had a splash of vanilla and cinnamon. Easy and delicious.

Thanks! We love rice pudding, but DD has a texture thing and rice bothers her unless it's freshly steamed with dinner and teryiaki sauce LOL. I disovered though she LOVES vanilla pudding. My mom bought some little cups at the store but I don't want her drinking nonfat milk

I'm glad you posted this thread! Made the pudding with vanilla almond milk, and it turned out great. Yum!
