Notes

Keep leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Eat leftovers cold or reheat on the stove. Keep in mind that the pudding will keep thickening while resting, which you can adjust by adding more milk.
Other ways to flavor the pudding:
- Chocolate: add 1.5 tablespoons (or more) or raw cacao powder and a little more sweetener to balance the bitterness.
- Banana: easy way to skip on adding any sweetener. Mash a banana on a plate using a fork and stir in the pudding.
- Tropical: use canned coconut milk instead of regular plant milk. Combine with chopped pineapple and shredded coconut.
- Matcha: add about ½ tablespoon of matcha powder and whisk well. Pairs well with vanilla extract.
