My family are a bunch of pudding eating fools, so I enjoy making homemade pudding for a sweet treat. This time I thought I would try my hand at almond milk pudding, and it came out perfectly.
Ingredients in Almond Milk Pudding
It's silky smooth and packed full of almond flavor. Instead of using regular milk, I used almondmilk. With the help of half of a teaspoon of almond extract and the Almond Breeze almondmilk, I'm happy to announce that the almond flavor definitely shows up to the party!

So, I toasted up some sliced almonds which only took about five minutes. I did that to add a pop of color to the photo and I wanted to sprinkle some on the top of my pudding. I know that the hubby and Lucian wouldn't be crazy for the addition so I didn't go too wild with them in the pudding cups. It's a nice crunchy addition if you're like me and love to add a slight crunch to anything with a smooth texture.
Almond Pudding
Ingredients
- 3 cups Almond Breeze almondmilk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 3 T. cornstarch
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. almond extract
- 2 T. cold butter
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, add in the almondmilk and place over medium/high heat. Let it heat up until the edges form bubbles it almost boils. This took mine about 14 minutes.
- While the almondmilk is heating, add the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, add in the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk to incorporate the cornstarch into the sugar.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the egg yolks and stir to combine.
- Once the almondmilk heats up, pour about 1 cup of it into the yolks and sugar. Whisk immediately until combined. This will temper the yolks and prevent the eggs from cooking when they're added to the remaining milk.
- Add the yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining almondmilk and whisk to combine.
- Let the mixture come up to a boil and begin bubbles and whisk constantly to prevent burning. It took mine 5 minutes to begin bubbling.
- Once bubbling, whisk quickly until the mixture becomes thick. This took 9 more minutes for me.
- Add in the almond extract and cold butter and whisk until butter is combined.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a glass bowl, pour the pudding through the strainer to catch any bits of egg.
- Cover the pudding with plastic wrap. Place the plastic on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Let sit overnight to firm up.
- Spoon the pudding into dishes and serve!

What's your favorite pudding? Mine is chocolate because I love everything chocolate. Don't tell anyone but I love the fat free generic store bought pudding because it almost has a gritty texture. Weird, I know.
I absolutely loved this recipe! I substituted a mixture of 4 cups of nonfat dairy milk and 1/4 cup of cornstarch for the almond milk, and I also substituted a mixture of 1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds and 3/4 cup of water for the egg yolks. ☺️😋
Hi, Did you use sweetened or unsweetened almond milk???
Unsweetened!
unsweetened almond milk!
Could coconut sugar be used instead of refined sugar? Any other granulated sweetener?
Yes! Definitely! Any granulated sugar will work well.
Thanks for your recipe. I'm wondering if I could use a healthier thickener than cornstarch?
Tapioca starch works well! Tapioca starch has more calcium and vitamin B-12 which makes it a little healthier
Thanks Miranda, I'm going to use your recipe to make a sugar free version of a peanut butter pie.
I'm wondering how long this would keep in the fridge? I want to use it in a trifle in 4 days (on Christmas day) and I'm wondering if I make it tonight or tomorrow will it keep in the fridge until needed?
The pudding will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days and taste great!
LOVED IT!!!
Oh yum! This looks like something both my husbands and kids would enjoy. I can't wait to make this! Thank you!
Yay! Let me know how it turns out for you and if the hubby and kiddies love it!
Thank you for answering a question that's been on my mind. I always wondered how pudding would turn out with almond milk and now I know. And now I must make it!
My pleasure, Sandra!
