Ingredients

Scale

Key Lime Chia Seed Pudding

  • 1 cup coconut milk (plant-based)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural), to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the liquids and sweetener: In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk (plant-based), freshly squeezed lime juice, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and a pinch of salt until fully blended and smooth.
  2. Add chia seeds and mix well: Sprinkle the chia seeds into the mixture and stir thoroughly to prevent clumps, ensuring they are evenly distributed for consistent pudding texture.
  3. Chill and thicken: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight so the chia seeds swell with liquid, transforming the mixture into a luscious pudding.
  4. Add lime zest and gently stir: Before serving, fold in fresh lime zest to infuse bright, citrusy bursts of flavor throughout every bite.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Dish up the pudding into jars or bowls, add your favorite toppings, and dive into this refreshing treat.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the brightest citrus flavor.
  • Stir well when adding chia seeds to avoid clumps and ensure smooth pudding.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time for the chia seeds to thicken the pudding fully.
  • Adjust maple syrup (natural) sweetness to taste before chilling.
  • Choose full-fat coconut milk (plant-based) for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
