Nut Butter Pudding

Submitted by Mia in Germany

"This is a very simple yet tasty dessert. You can make it dairy free using soy, rice or nut milk, and you can use any sweetener you like. Also you can use any nut butter you wish - almond, cashew, hazelnut, peanut or even tahini. If using non-dairy milk you may have to decrease the liquid a bit or increase the starch. You can also add vanilla or cinnamon to taste. Serve with fruit sauce, e.g. apple sauce and raisins or cranberry sauce. Cooking time does not include refridgeration time."
