/4 cup cornstarch
4 1/4 cups guava juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
6 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
Directions
- Prepare the Pudding Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 cup of guava juice until smooth. Slowly add the remaining guava juice and sugar, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Cook the Pudding: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
- Chill the Pudding: Pour the pudding into serving cups or bowls and let it cool for 10 minutes. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve: Before serving, top each pudding with 1 tablespoon of yogurt and sprinkle with toasted almonds for a crunchy, tangy finish.
