Notes
- Coconut milk - Use light coconut milk or thin coconut milk. Thin coconut milk is the second or third press or extract when you make homemade coconut milk. If you use thick coconut milk which is the first extract or canned coconut milk, then add ¼ cup water to the thick coconut milk. Mix very well to an even and slightly thin consistency
- Consistency: This recipe gives a thick pudding. For a less thick pudding, add 1 to 1.25 cups light coconut milk or almond milk or cashew milk.
- Scaling: The recipe can be halved or doubled or tripled.
- Milk: Any nut milk like almond milk, coconut milk and cashew milk work well in the recipe. You can even use GMO free soy milk.
Sweeteners: Adding sweeteners is optional. You can also add less or more of the sweeteners. You can add the following sweeteners:
