🍒 Ingredients
- Chia seeds: The base of this recipe, chia seeds are small seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant that form a gel-like consistency when mixed with liquids
- Plant-based milk: The liquid that mixes with the seeds to make the pudding, we’re using plant-based creamy oat milk (but any milk will do)
- Plums: The fruit star of this recipe, plums add a touch of tart and sweet
- Nuts or seeds: For a crunch factor we’re adding your choice of nuts or seeds
- Flavorings: A touch of vanilla extract and maple syrup add a slightly warm and sweet flavor to the pudding
- Recommended tools: small mixing bowls, small glasses or jars for single-servings of pudding
🥣 How to make (step-by-step photos)
1️⃣ Step One: Blend plums with milk
Add cut plums, plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a medium mixing bowl.
Blend with an immersion blender (or place inside a blender) to make a plum-flavored liquid.
2️⃣ Step Two: Make chia pudding
Stir chia seeds into the plum-flavored milk and let sit 10 minutes.
Then cover and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours to let the pudding thicken, ideally overnight.
2️⃣ Step Two: Garnish and serve
To build the pudding cups, add the chilled and thickened plum chia pudding into small glasses or jars, leaving about 1/2 inch left at the top.
Then add plums and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds.
🧊 How to store
- Refrigerator storage: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
- Freezer storage: It is possible to freeze chia pudding, but I recommend freezing in single servings. To freeze, add to airtight containers and freeze up to two month. To thaw, remove from freezer into refrigerator for 24 hours and then enjoy within 2-3 days.
