We Need More Desserts These Days

I do not know what’s going on, but I meet with so many obstacles every time I learn something new about technology! Ok, this was not the greatest, and optimistic enter to a blog post, BUT guys, I have been working on sharing this recipe with a great recipe app, but (another, but this is what happened in the background) it just didn’t work out, and I am not happy about it. I still wanted to share this recipe because I made it multiple times last month, and we eat with joy every time. And I want you to have that joy. Hopefully, I figure out what’s going on with that app to share my recipes with you with a more friendly look, and you can print if you want or follow it through easier.

Other than that, I am working hard to stay happy, healthy, and more than happy; I am trying to keep in balance. It is hard these days but not impossible, and it just requires more work. That’s why I have been making lots of desserts lately to boost my happiness 🙂

Enjoy the recipe!

Ingredients for Base

• 1 cup flour
• 4 cups oat milk
• 120 gr vegan butter
• 1-½ cup organic cane sugar (you can reduce it to 1 cup if you want to reduce the sugar amount)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ingredients for peach topping;

• 2 medium-size peach
• 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
• 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup ( + more if needed) of filtered water

Instructions for Base of the Pudding

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over low, medium heat.
2. Slowly add 1 cup flour while whisking. You will see that the butter-flour mix looks lumpy but keep whisking it with a wooden spoon and let the butter-flour mix roast in low heat for 4 minutes or so; you start smelling a beautiful aroma comes out in the roasting process.
3. Pour in 4 cups of oat milk gradually while constantly whisking on medium, and in this step, you can use stainless steel whisker.
4. Pour in 1 organic cane sugar, still whisking it.
5. Once you see the mix is incorporated and starts bubbling, turn down the heat to low again, simmer it for another 2-3 minutes while still slowly whisking it.
6. Move it away from the heat, add the vanilla extract, whisk it again, let it cool down for 5 minutes.
7. With a hand blender, pulse it for at least 5 minutes. This process is crucial, and I pulse it for 5 to 7 minutes. This process not only helps boost the flavor and elasticity of the pudding, but it also helps the lumps from the butter-flour go away; if any left and you get is absorbed entirely by the milk.
8. Pour the mix into your serving dishes (I recommend using a transparent glass of jars or bowls- so you can see the layers) and let it cool outside for 10 minutes or so, then chill in the refrigerator while making the peach topping.

Instructions for Peach Topping

1. Peel the peaches finely.
2. Slice them – the easiest way to slice peaches (I wish I figured it before shooting my video :)); Halve them, separate the halves, remove the pit and slice them. I recommend going on thicker sizes in slicing.
3. Place them on a large frying pan, spread the tapioca starch on top of them.
4. Incorporate the tapioca starch into peaches on low-medium heat.
5. Once all the lumps go away, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and keep stirring it.
6. Once it starts heating, you may notice thickness occurs from tapioca starch. I gradually add the filtered water until I find the right consistency so peaches do not burn or stick to the pan. So you may want to use all the water for that reason.
7. You do not need to keep stirring consistently, but you may need to keep checking the thickness of the peaches’ juice while they are on heat, so they don’t stick on the frying pan and lose their shape and add a small amount of water if it is necessary.
8. The whole process takes 10 minutes, and I add ½ teaspoon cinnamon a few minutes before moving it away from heat.

Serving Suggestions

Layer the peach mixture on top of the pudding while it is hot, let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then keep it in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.

I hope you enjoy it!
