 Golden milk pudding turns the turmeric latte into dessert — silky, warmly spiced, and vegan, set with a whisk of pudding mix.

This golden milk pudding turns the turmeric latte into dessert — vanilla pudding mix whisked into hemp milk with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and the essential pinch of black pepper, set into a silky, golden, vegan pudding.

SERVINGS
4 (about 2 cups)
ACTIVE TIME
5 min
FULL TIME
15 min

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package Fancy Monkey Vanilla Pudding Mix (full package)
  • 2 cups Cold hemp milk
  • 1 tsp Ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp Ground ginger (or 1 tsp freshly grated)
  • ¼ tsp Ground cinnamon
  • Pinch Black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Honey or maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Whisk dry
    Add pudding mix, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk together dry so the spices distribute evenly.
  2. Add milk
    Pour in cold hemp milk and whisk briskly for 2 minutes until smooth and thickened.
  3. Finish
    Whisk in the honey or maple syrup until fully incorporated.
  4. Serve
    Spoon into cups. Serve immediately for a soft set, or refrigerate 10–15 minutes for a firmer pudding. Dust with a little extra cinnamon or turmeric before serving.

TIPS

The black pepper isn’t optional — it activates the curcumin in the turmeric so the whole thing works harder for you. Hemp milk is thinner than oat or soy, so expect a lighter, silkier set. For a spicier cup, use 1 tsp freshly grated ginger, or add a pinch of cardamom to take it into chai territory. Layer with granola and coconut flakes for a golden-milk parfait, or swap in full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier version. Keeps in the fridge up to 4 days — stir before serving.
