Almond Milk Indian Pudding

Design

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon softened unsalted butter (for coating inside ramekins)
  • 5½ cups vanilla almond milk
  • 1 small knob of ginger, peeled and grated
  • ¾ cup light-brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon dark molasses
  • 1 tablespoon cane syrup
  • 1 stick cinnamon, halved
  • Old-fashioned vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter eight 4-ounce ramekins and set aside. In a small stainless steel saucepan combine milk, ginger, and sugar, bring to a simmer and let steep for 10 minutes, or until surface of milk shimmers. Pass through a fine strainer into a bowl to remove ginger. Return milk to a clean saucepot and place over medium heat. Add cornmeal, molasses, cane syrup, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil until surface shimmers, stirring continually, until mixture thickens slightly (about 15 minutes). Whisk in butter and remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick halves.

Place the buttered ramekins onto a baking sheet. Pour the cooked mixture into ramekins, dividing equally. Bake until golden brown and the center of the pudding is just firm, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, and just before serving, top with vanilla Ice cream.
