Notes

For the thickest texture, chill the pudding overnight. Store covered in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 4 days. Toppings are optional and are not included in the core recipe quantities.
Calculated per serving from USDA FoodData Central reference values for the listed quantities. The almond milk brand and the weight of a small pinch of salt can change the final values; optional toppings are not included.
