Ingredients

  • 4 large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chopped nuts and raisins for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the grated carrots and almond milk. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
  3. Slowly pour the sugar mixture into the saucepan with the cooked carrots and almond milk. Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  4. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
  6. Transfer the pudding to individual serving bowls or a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
  7. Garnish with chopped nuts and raisins, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
