Scale
For The Chia Pudding:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For The Lemon Cream Layer:
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or coconut cream
For Garnish:
- Fresh blueberries
- Lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Make the Chia Pudding: In a mixing bowl or jar, add the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix everything evenly and avoid clumps. Cover and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until it thickens to a pudding-like texture.
- Prepare the Lemon Cream Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or coconut cream with fresh lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy to create a fresh, zesty lemon cream layer.
- Assemble the Pudding: After the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir. Spoon half of the chia pudding into serving glasses or jars. Then, carefully layer half of the lemon cream mixture on top. Repeat by adding the remaining chia pudding and finishing with the lemon cream on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a few chia seeds over the top, add some fresh blueberries, a lemon slice, and a fresh mint leaf for decoration. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until you’re ready to enjoy this refreshing, creamy treat.
Notes
- Can I Use Frozen Blueberries for Garnish? Yes! Just thaw them first by leaving them in the fridge for a few hours or running them under cold water. This prevents extra moisture from watering down the pudding.
