Creating the Lemon Elderflower Almond Pudding is a delightful process that can be broken down into simple steps:

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients for an easy cooking process.
2. Heat Almond Milk: In a medium saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the heated almond milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Cook Until Thickened: Continue to heat the mixture while whisking until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add Flavors: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the lemon juice, elderflower cordial, almond extract, and lemon zest until fully incorporated.
7. Cool Down: Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
8. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
9. Garnish: Before serving, top each pudding with a sprinkle of sliced almonds and fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to create a beautifully textured Lemon Elderflower Almond Pudding that’s sure to impress.
