In general, you can substitute almondmilk for dairy milk, cup for cup.
Silk Pure Almond Original almondmilk works well in both savory and sweet dishes.
Silk Pure Almond Vanilla almondmilk has a touch of extra sweetness and is suitable for desserts, smoothies and breakfast treats.
Like dairy milk, almondmilk will scorch if cooked at too high a temperature and can form a skin when heated. Stir constantly and use moderate heat for best results.
Using almondmilk in your favorite baked good recipes may slightly affect the baking time. Check the oven a few minutes earlier than the time listed in the recipe.
If you're using almondmilk in a cooked pudding or custard recipe, increase the thickening agent (such as cornstarch or flour) by a few tablespoons. Because almondmilk contains no saturated fat, it requires a little extra thickener to set up properly. Better yet, choose from one of our pudding or custard recipes, which were specially developed to work perfectly with almondmilk.
If a recipe calls for buttermilk, add a teaspoon of vinegar to almondmilk before adding it to the recipe.
Unless specifically directed by your recipe, avoid adding acidic ingredients like sundried tomatoes or lemon to almondmilk; they can cause the mixture to curdle.
Since Silk Pure Almond Vanilla almondmilk is lightly sweet already, you reduce the sugar in any dessert recipe by one third to one half when using this product, with no sacrifice in flavor.
