Pudim de Baunilha

Pudim de Baunilha is a creamy and delightful Brazilian vanilla pudding that is both indulgent and healthy. This dessert is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while still being mindful of your nutrition.

Ingredients

• Almond milk - 250 ml
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1 large
• Coconut oil - 1 teaspoon (for greasing)
• Pinch of salt

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a saucepan, combine the almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little bit of cold almond milk to create a slurry, then gradually add it to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and add a pinch of salt. Slowly incorporate the cooled milk mixture into the egg while whisking to avoid cooking the egg.
6. Grease two small ramekins with coconut oil and pour the mixture evenly into them.
7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish filled with water (bain-marie) and bake for about 20 minutes or until set.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
9. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.
