Description
a healthy chia pudding that tastes just like a key lime pie!
Ingredients
Scale
chia pudding
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cups almond milk
- zest of 3 key limes (or 1 regular lime)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
key-lime pudding layer
- 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour then drained
- 6 tbsp coconut milk (full-fat from a can)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup key-lime juice (or lime juice)
- zest of 2 key-limes (or 1 regular lime)
- 1/2 tsp matcha powder for colour (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the chia seeds, almond milk, key lime zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk for 30 seconds until everything is well combined.
- Place in the fridge and allow to firm up for 2 hours or overnight.
- Add the cashews to a blender or food processor with the coconut milk, maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, and matcha powder. Blend until completely smooth. (You may need to scrape down the sides a few times as you blend.)
- Spoon the chia pudding evenly into 4 little jars. Pour the lime mousse mixture on top of the chia pudding.
- Place in the fridge and let set for 2 hours before eating.
Notes
Let your chia pudding sit for at least 2 hours so it really absorbs the liquid and becomes a nice pudding-like texture.
If you can’t find key limes you can use regular limes in this recipe, though I highly recommend key limes for their delicious flavour!
You can use either a blender, food processor magic bullet to make the key lime mousse. Anything that will blend it up.
Store these chia puddings covered in the fridge for up to a week.
