Cornmeal pudding has been a staple in Southern cuisine for centuries, and this vegan version is a delicious and dairy-free take on the classic dish. When developing this recipe, we wanted to create a pudding that was creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. We experimented with different types of plant-based milk and butter, and we found that a combination of soy milk and almond butter produced the best results. We also added a touch of vanilla and cinnamon to enhance the flavor, and we sweetened the pudding with a small amount of sugar.

Why It Works
  • The cornmeal provides a hearty and flavorful base for the pudding. The sugar adds a touch of sweetness, while the vanilla and cinnamon provide a warm and inviting aroma.
  • The unsweetened plant-based milk is used to thin out the pudding and make it creamy. The plant-based butter adds a touch of richness and helps to give the pudding a smooth texture.
  • The pudding is baked in a 9x13-inch baking dish for 45-50 minutes, or until it is set. This allows the pudding to cook through and develop a slightly crispy top.
