    On the lookout for non-dairy, gluten-free desserts that you can enjoy all year round? Something you can quickly prepare and serve to guests with food intolerances?

    Well, we got you covered! This spoon-licking Non-Dairy Almond Caramel Pudding fits all the above and more. It's creamy, comforting and quite indulgent... a real hit!

    It's also unbelievably simple to prepare, requiring no cooking skills.

    All you need to do is to combine brown sugar, lactose-free butter, and ½ cup almond milk in a saucepan and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Once mixture turns a dark caramel color, whisk in cornstarch dissolved in the remaining almond milk, boil and then simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly, until pudding thickens.

    Stir in almond extract, pour into ramekins, let cook, cover, and refrigerate until fully set. Right before serving, place a generous dollop of Reddi-wip® Almond Non-dairy whipped topping and garnish with toasted almond slices if desired.

    Toasting Almonds on the Stovetop

    To quickly toast almonds, heat a no-stick skillet over medium heat. Put in the almonds and let them toast, shaking pan occasionally, until lightly golden brown and fragrant.

    Transfer to a plate and let cool before storing them in a plastic bag at room temperature. Use as a garnish for our Non-Dairy Almond Caramel Pudding.

    PIN & ENJOY!

    Recipe Notes

    This pudding is starch-thickened and so is called blancmange in the UK.
    To toast almond quickly, use the stovetop. Heat a no-stick skillet over medium heat. Place almonds into the skillet and let them toast, shaking pan occasionally, until lightly golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a plate and let cool before storing them in a plastic bag at room temperature.

      I'm passing the recipe along to a neighbor. She and her husband only use almond milk and both have a real sweet tooth. This would be a perfect dessert for them.
