Cook Time: -
Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup dragonfruit puree
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond milk and maple syrup. Whisk together until the syrup is fully dissolved in the almond milk.
- Add the chia seeds to the almond milk mixture. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to sit for about 2 hours, or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
- Once the chia pudding has thickened, take it out of the refrigerator and give it a good stir. If the pudding is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the dragonfruit puree by blending the dragonfruit until smooth. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a little maple syrup to the puree and blend again.
- To serve, layer the chia pudding and dragonfruit puree in serving bowls or glasses. Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of dragonfruit puree, and then top with sliced strawberries.
- Garnish with additional strawberry slices on top for a beautiful presentation. You can also sprinkle some chia seeds or a drizzle of maple syrup on top if desired.
- Enjoy your Strawberry Dragonfruit Chia Pudding immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Whisk Like a Pro: When mixing chia seeds with almond milk, whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping. Smooth mixture = smooth pudding!
- Patience is Key: Don't rush the chilling process. Those two hours of refrigeration are crucial for achieving the perfect pudding consistency.
- Stir Regularly: Every 30 minutes, give your chia mixture a quick stir to ensure even thickening and prevent seed settling.
- Consistency is Crucial: If the pudding becomes too thick, don't panic! Simply add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While the recipe suggests strawberries, feel free to experiment with other fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This pudding can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests.
- Blend with Precision: When preparing the dragonfruit puree, blend until completely smooth for that perfect, silky texture.Pro Tip: For an extra luxurious touch, try using fresh, ripe dragonfruit and strawberries to maximize flavor and nutritional benefits!
