Almond pudding is the perfect dessert that gives you a warm and comfortable feel with every bite. It’s a smooth, creamy treat that blends the rich flavor of almonds with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Make it for yourself or a special occasion, and this dessert adds a touch of elegance to any table while being full of good, natural ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lt milk
  • 1 ½ tbsp rice flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp corn starch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 100g cream
  • ½ tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup almond, peeled and crumbled
  • Pistachios, almonds to decorate

Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine sugar and egg yolks, then beat them together using an egg beater. Set aside ¼ cup of milk in a bowl and mix it with rice flour and corn starch.
  2. Add the remaining milk to the pot and continue beating. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it begins to boil, add the rice flour and starch mixture, whisking it in.
  3. After about 3 minutes, add the peeled and crumbled almonds. A few minutes later, stir in the vanilla and cream. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. To check if it’s ready, dip a spoon or egg beater into the pudding—if it drips slowly and doesn’t run off easily, it’s done.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat and pour the pudding into a jug for easy pouring into small bowls or cups. Pour the pudding into individual cups, and if you notice any bubbles on top, you’re on the right track.
  5. Let the pudding cool down completely before moving the cups.
  6. Once cooled, garnish the top of each pudding with pistachios, whole almonds, and raisins.

Serving Suggestions:

Almond pudding is best when served chilled. It pairs well with fresh fruits like berries or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. It’s an ideal dessert for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering or a celebration.

Tips for Success:

  • Blending Tip: To achieve a smooth pudding, make sure the almond paste is finely blended.
  • Vegan Alternative: Use almond milk or oat milk and a plant-based sweetener for a dairy-free version.
  • Customization: Add chopped nuts or raisins for a bit of extra texture.
