Chef Note

Consequently, not all potato flours are alike. I highly suggest using Swan’t Potato Flour it doesn’t have a potato flavor and is used in many Scandinavian desserts.

Gluten-Free Vanilla Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 vanilla bean cut with the caviar
  • 1/2 a recipe of unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 + 1 cup+ cup approximately cup of almond milk or nut milk
  • 3 tsp powdered vanilla monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 4 tbsp potato flour (Swan’s) or tapioca flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 3 pinches turmeric
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Directions

First, pour the coconut milk into a measuring cup and add enough almond milk to make 2 cups. (I got 1 3/4 cup coconut milk). Second, pour the coconut almond milk into a bowl. Third, measure out a cup of almond milk. Add the almond milk to the coconut mixture. Toss the vanilla pod and the caviar into the milk. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight to extract the vanilla flavor into the milk. (This step can be left out. Just proceed and follow the recipe) Next, combine the monk fruit sweetener, powdered vanilla monk fruit sweetener, potato flour, salt, and turmeric. With a whisk, stir them together. Finally, add the milk mixture from the fridge into the pan with the combined sweeteners (including the vanilla bean). Whisk the milk, flour, and sugars together until well combined.

Turn on the stove to medium. Continue to whisk so that the flour doesn’t scorch on the bottom of the pan. Heat until the mixture begins to bubble in the middle and becomes thick, whisking the entire time. Remove from the heat and add the pure vanilla and coconut oil. Stir until the oil is melted and the vanilla has been incorporated.

Pour the mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl to remove any lumps and the vanilla bean. Place plastic on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, or pour it into serving bowls of your choice. Lastly, allow the pudding to refrigerate for 2 hours before topping with coconut whipped cream and enjoying.Gluten-Free Vanilla Pudding in a ramikin on a plate with a sugar bowl and creamer in the background.
