Ingredients

  • 2 to 4 whole green cardamom pod
  • 2 thin slices fresh ginger root
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 1 whole cloves
  • 2 cups Pacific Foods® Cashew Unsweetened Original Plant-Based Beverage
  • 2 fluid ounces espresso (about 1/4 cup) (optional)
  • 1 black tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose black tea leaves
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg or 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Combine the spices and cashew milk in a saucepan, bring to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tea leaves, remove from heat, let steep 2 minutes. Strain.  Stir in the espresso if you're using it. 

  • Step 2

    Combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg (or yolks) together in a saucepan. Whisk to combine. Over low heat, slowly add the milk while whisking. Continue to whisk over low heat until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla, continue whisking until butter is fully melted and mixed in. 

  • Step 3

    Pour into small ramekins and chill until set. If you wish to prevent a skin from forming, press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding before chilling. Top with yogurt or whipped cream.
