   Notes: 1.

9. 9

   The recipe calls for all of the listed amount of maple syrup, but I added about half of the amount at first and tasted.

10. 10

    The mixture was really bitter but tasted strongly of maple, so I switched to honey for the second half of the sweetness.

11. 11

    You could also use agave!

    Almond extract produces a strong almond flavor, even in small quantities.

    If you dont like it, just skip it!

    It can take away from the chocolate flavor of the pudding, but I love it.
