Dairy Free Salted Caramel Madagascar Vanilla Pudding with Vanilla Powder

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups almond milk (600 ml)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
• 3 tbsp cornstarch (24 g)
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2 tbsp dairy-free butter (28 g)
• 1 tsp VanillaGoods Madagascar vanilla powder (3 g)
• 0.33 cup salted caramel sauce (80 ml)

Instructions

1. 1. Flavor note: Add the salted caramel toward the end so it stays as distinct ribbons rather than blending in.
2. 2. In a saucepan off the heat, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks with a splash of the milk until smooth and lump-free.
3. 3. Warm the remaining milk with the vanilla until it steams, then whisk it slowly into the yolk mixture.
4. 4. Set over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens and comes to a gentle bubble, about 5 minutes; it should mound softly on the whisk.
5. 5. Off the heat, whisk in the butter until the pudding looks glossy and smooth.
6. 6. Pour into serving dishes, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin, and chill until cold and set, about 2 hours.
