Banana Pudding with Almond Milk and Caramel Cinnamon Sauce
If you are using a commercial vanilla pudding that uses natural vanilla, then this is the easiest pudding to make. Just follow the instructions and use a puree wand (hand held blender) to whir in a ripe, mashed banana. Or use my recipe for Vanilla Pudding:
Vanilla Pudding
4-6 servings
30 g. (4 T.) cornflour (cornstarch)
60 - 75 g. (4 - 5 T.) sugar (I prefer 60g.)
a good pinch of salt
2 t. vanilla essence (extract)
500 ml. (2 c.) almond milk
Stir a little of the cold milk into the cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Add the rest of the ingredients (except vanilla) to a heavy pan and heat. Add the cornstarch and stir constantly (increase the heat) until the first bubbles appear. Continue to cook for one minute. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. For a vanilla sauce, use only 1 T. cornflour.
Simple Caramel Cinnamon Sauce with Irish Cream Liquor
Delicious over desserts such as cream, banana, bread or rice puddings and ice
cream. If you prefer, substitute the Irish Cream Liquor (Bailey's Liquor)
with heavy cream, almond cream, Cointreu or cognac.
makes just under 400 ml. (freezes well) or for about 6-8 servings as a
garnish
200 sugar
100 ml. water
2 t. ground cinnamon
small lump of
butter (about 1/2 teaspoon)
60-80 ml. Irish Cream Liquor
In a medium sized pot combine the water and the sugar. Bring to a boil without
stirring until it begins to turn a dark golden. From this point it can
easily burn, so be careful. Remove from heat immediately, stir in the
butter and the liquor.
Serve warm or cooled.
