Ingredients

  • 1 litre almond milk
  • 110 g (½ cup) sugar
  • 18 g gelatine powder (see Note)
  • 1 tsp natural almond essence
Ginger and palm sugar syrup
  • 90 g (½ cup) grated palm sugar
  • 55 g (¼ cup) sugar
  • 5 thick slices ginger
Chilling time: 3 hours

Instructions

  1. Place the almond milk and sugar in a saucepan and stir over low heat until warm. Add the gelatine and almond essence and whisk until the sugar and gelatine are fully dissolved. Divide between 6 serving bowls and refrigerate for 3 hours or until completely set.
  2. Meanwhile, for the syrup, place the ingredients in a small saucepan with 250 ml (1 cup) water. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, then strain and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. To serve, spoon a little of the syrup over the puddings.
 


Note
To make this recipe vegan, use agar agar powder to set the mixture instead of gelatine.
