Description

This Key Lime Chia Seed Pudding is a zesty and creamy plant-based dessert packed with fresh lime flavor and nourishing chia seeds. It’s a versatile, refreshing treat perfect for breakfast, snack, or light dessert, combining the smoothness of plant-based milk with a natural gelling agent to achieve a perfect pudding texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Key Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups (plant-based) milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1/4 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (agave or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix chia seeds, (plant-based) milk, fresh key lime juice, key lime zest, natural sweetener, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed and flavors blend evenly.
  2. Let It Rest: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating the pudding’s characteristic thickness.
  3. Stir Again: After chilling, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency ready to serve.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the pudding into serving glasses or bowls. Add garnishes such as extra lime zest, fresh berries, toasted nuts, or fresh mint leaves for a vibrant and appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh key limes for the best authentic citrus flavor.
  • Stir well initially and after chilling to prevent clumping of chia seeds.
  • Adjust the sweetness level by modifying the amount of natural sweetener.
  • For creamier results, choose full fat plant-based milk like coconut or almond milk.
  • Prepare ahead as the pudding tastes great even after a couple of days stored in the refrigerator.
