Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Almond Milk Base liquid for a creamy texture; substitute with any plant-based or dairy milk for your preference.
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice Provides tanginess and flavor; using fresh juice makes all the difference.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Zest Enhances the lemon flavor depth; opt for fresh zest to elevate the taste profile.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Adds natural sweetness; feel free to replace it with honey or agave syrup if you prefer.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Balances the flavors beautifully; pure vanilla extract gives a richer flavor.
For the Pudding

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or Coconut Cream Optional; choose Greek yogurt for added creaminess or coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
For Garnishing
  • 1 cup Fresh Berries Adds color and a burst of freshness; any seasonal berries will make a lovely topping.
