Sweet Shirataki Noodle Pudding with Apples and Almonds

Because Shirataki noodles are not made with flour they make the perfect ingredient for a Passover noodle pudding. Because Shirataki noodles have almost zero carbohydrates they make the perfect ingredient for diabetics. What a great product they are and I love finding new ways to use them. For those of you that are not familiar with Shirataki Tofu Noodles please read my article about them. This can be found by searching the archives at the bottom of the page. I have taken another old, family favorite recipe and converted it so that the carbs are at a minimum but the flavor is still at its maximum. And this noodle pudding is absolutely delicious. I've also updated it with the addition of almonds and a touch of Amaretto in the mix. A wonderful sweet dessert or a delicious snack, this dish will be loved by your family and friends and soon become a permanent recipe in your collection. I hope you enjoy.
