Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup coconut milk (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed key lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural), adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Liquid Base: In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk (plant-based), freshly squeezed key lime juice, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and lime zest. Whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients and create a flavorful base for the pudding.
  2. Add Chia Seeds and Natural Gelling Agent: Slowly sprinkle in the chia seeds and the natural gelling agent while mixing continuously to prevent clumps. This helps the pudding thicken evenly with a smooth texture.
  3. Let It Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds absorb the liquid and swell, while the natural gelling agent activates to establish the pudding’s creamy consistency.
  4. Stir and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well to evenly distribute the chia seeds. Add any desired garnishes or mix-ins as preferred to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed key lime juice for the brightest and most authentic citrus flavor.
  • Do not skip the lime zest as it intensifies the aroma and adds depth to the pudding.
  • Stir thoroughly after adding chia seeds to avoid clumping at the bottom.
  • Adjust maple syrup (natural) to your preferred level of sweetness for a balanced taste.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time to achieve a creamy, thick texture.
