Ingredients
Liquid Base and Flavorings
- Zest of a large lemon (or 2 small lemons)
- Juice of 2 large lemons
- 13.5 or 15 oz can full fat coconut milk (about 1.5 cups)
- 1/4 cup water (optional)
- 3 tbsp or more sweetener (raw sugar recommended)
- A good pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp or more turmeric
Setting Agent
- 3 tbsp or more chia seeds (5 to 6 tbsp for well set pudding)
Garnish
- Whipped coconut cream
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut milk, optional water, sweetener, salt, and turmeric in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add chia seeds and pulse once or twice just to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tanginess as desired. If you prefer it more lemony or sweeter, add extra lemon juice, zest, or sweetener and blend again to mix thoroughly.
- Chill to Set: Pour the blended mixture into serving glasses or containers. Refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick pudding texture. Stir once after about an hour if needed to prevent clumping and distribute the chia evenly.
- Serve with Garnish: Before serving, top the pudding with whipped coconut cream and sprinkle extra lemon zest on top for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer and creamier pudding.
- Adjust chia seeds quantity depending on your preferred pudding thickness; more seeds will yield a firmer texture.
- The turmeric is mainly for color and subtle flavor; adjust or omit to suit taste preferences.
- Sweetener type can be varied – raw sugar, honey, maple syrup, or any preferred sweetener works well.
- Remember to stir the pudding after an hour in the fridge to avoid chia seeds settling clumps.
