Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and the lemon juice. Gently stir the mixture and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. This resting time will help the peaches soften and release their natural juices.

    Meanwhile, in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, salt, almond milk, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.

      After the peaches have rested, place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the peach mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to bubble gently.

        Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while continuously stirring. Continue to cook the mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes or until it thickens to a creamy, pudding-like consistency.

          Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes before transferring it into individual serving bowls or ramekins.

            Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Chill the puddings for at least 2 hours, or until they are fully cooled and set.
