    Dairy-Free Yogurt Custard Pudding (Contest Winner!)

    By Alisa Fleming on June 1, 2014 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This recipe for dairy-free yogurt custard pudding is an Honorable Mention Winner (10 VIP Free Product Coupons!) as the Best Product Use entry in the The Spring Fling Dairy-Free Recipe Contest, hosted here on Go Dairy Free, and sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free.

    Alisa’s Notes and Tips: Yogurt Custard Pudding

    There were many creative uses of So Delicious products in this fun recipe contest, but our favorite was in this yogurt custard pudding submitted by Hidemi Walsh. To preserve the healthy probiotics in the yogurt while offering a luxurious pudding dessert, a very thick (but easy!) custard is cooked, and then chilled before the yogurt is mixed in. I tested, photographed (my photo above), and loved this recipe, which is why I’ve also listed it as “approved” in the Alisa’s Recipes category.

    This recipe is very versatile – I used the vanilla almond milk beverage, which resulted in a slightly sweeter custard with some vanilla goodness, and the plain coconut milk yogurt, which worked quite well. But keep a watchful eye and don’t stop whisking. The custard thickens very quickly and aggressively. To avoid lumps when whisking in the yogurt, I opted to briefly puree the two together in my blender. The result was perfect! I also topped the finished yogurt custard pudding with ground cinnamon, rather than cocoa.

    Author: Hidemi Walsh
    Serves: 2
    Ingredients
    • 1 large egg
    • ¼ cup cane sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage
    • 1 6-ounce container dairy-free plain yogurt alternative
    • Sliced almonds, for garnish (omit for nut free)
    • Cocoa powder, for garnish
    Instructions
    1. In a bowl, whisk together egg, granulated sugar and cornstarch.

    3. Turn on the heat again. Heat over medium heat and simmer stirring constantly until the mixture starts to get thickened. Then reduce heat to low heat and keep simmering until thickened.
    4. Remove the saucepan from the heat, transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cooled.
    5. When the custard has been cooled, add Greek cultured almond milk to the bowl. Whisk until well blended.
    6. Put the mixture into each serving glass or bowl and sprinkle cocoa and sliced almond on top.

      Have you tried putting all of the custard ingredients into a Double Boiler and cooking it that way until thickened? This sounds delicious! Thank you.
