Can I substitute non-dairy milk in Jello Pudding?
Yes, you can substitute non-dairy milk for regular milk in a Jell-O pudding recipe, but there are a few things you should keep in mind.
-
Texture: Non-dairy milk may not set up as firm as dairy milk in pudding recipes. This is because dairy milk contains proteins that help the pudding set, while many non-dairy milks have less protein. However, this can vary between different types of non-dairy milks. For example, soy milk, which has more protein than most non-dairy milks, might work better than almond milk.
-
Flavor: Non-dairy milks can also impart different flavors to the pudding. For example, coconut milk might give a slight coconut flavor to the pudding, and almond milk might have a slightly nutty flavor. Choose a non-dairy milk that you think will complement the flavor of the pudding.
-
Sugar: Some non-dairy milks are sweetened, so you may want to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe if you’re using a sweetened non-dairy milk.
-
Quantity: You may need to experiment with the amount of non-dairy milk to use. As a starting point, use the same amount of non-dairy milk as the recipe calls for regular milk. But you may need to adjust this based on the results.
In general, while it is possible to make jello pudding with non-dairy milk, it might take a bit of experimentation to get it just right.
