Description

Key Lime Chia Seed Pudding is a refreshing and nutrient-packed plant-based dessert or breakfast that combines the zesty brightness of key lime with the satisfying texture of chia seeds and a natural gelling agent. This creamy, dairy-free treat is quick to prepare and perfect for a healthy snack or make-ahead meal, offering endless opportunities to customize with flavors and toppings to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based milk, freshly squeezed key lime juice, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Stir thoroughly to ensure the sweetness and citrus flavors are well distributed.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Sprinkle the chia seeds into the liquid mixture and whisk immediately to avoid clumps, ensuring every seed is coated and starts absorbing the liquid evenly.
  3. Add Lime Zest: Gently fold in the fresh lime zest to enhance the refreshing citrus aroma and character of the pudding.
  4. Refrigerate and Set: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. The natural gelling agent in chia seeds transforms the liquid into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  5. Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir to break up any lumps and adjust sweetness or lime juice if needed. Then top as desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Whisk chia seeds well into the liquid right away to prevent clumping.
  • Allow at least 4 hours for the pudding to fully thicken for optimal texture.
  • Taste test before chilling; adjust sweetness as lime juice may vary in sourness.
  • Use fresh key lime juice for authentic and vibrant citrus flavor.
  • Layer pudding with fruit or granola in clear glasses for visual appeal.
