- 1 cup coconut milk (or any creamy plant-based milk)
- ½ cup vegan condensed milk (store-bought or homemade; see below for recipe)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Homemade Vegan Condensed Milk Recipe
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- Simmer both ingredients over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by half (about 20 minutes). Let cool before using.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pudding Mixture
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, vegan condensed milk, sugar (if using), and turmeric (if using).
Step 2: Cook the Pudding
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously.
- Slowly add the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Continue to cook for 3–5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Step 3: Add Lemon Flavor
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Mix well.
Step 4: Chill the Pudding
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
- Cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming).
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and chilled.
Serving Suggestions
- Garnish: Top with lemon zest, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint.
- Pairing: Serve with vegan shortbread cookies or graham crackers.
- Layered Dessert: Use as a layer in trifles or parfaits with crushed biscuits and coconut cream.
