I’ve made this recipe and enjoyed it very much! I was surprised to see Giada DeLauerntis make this as her dessert for her “romantic dinner” on Simply Giada last Saturday. The only difference was that her recipe called for 3/4 cup of coconut yogurt and 3/4 cup of almond milk. I tried it using unsweetened versions of both. She called it “Budino”. Great dessert or treat!
Great! I’m glad you like it. It’s a healthy and delicious treat😁
Can oatmilk be used instead? Can it be made without nuts?
You can use the oatmeal instead and you don’t have to add the nuts.
