Description
Lemon curd chia pudding celebrates zesty citrus notes with creamy textures. Rich ingredients blend seamlessly, promising refreshing flavors for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.5 or 15 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tbsps chia seeds
- 2 large lemons (juice and zest)
- 3 tbsps raw sugar
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 1 small pinch of salt
- ¼ cup water (optional)
Instructions
- Blending: Pulverize lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut milk, sweetener, turmeric, and salt in a high-powered blender until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform liquid with vibrant golden hues.
- Seeding: Fold chia seeds into the blended concoction, ensuring thorough integration and balanced flavor profile by tasting and adjusting sweetness as needed.
- Chilling: Pour the luminous mixture into serving vessels, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 8-12 hours, allowing chia seeds to absorb liquid and metamorphose into a luxurious pudding-like texture.
- Finishing: Gently stir the set pudding to prevent seed clustering, then embellish with a lavish swirl of whipped coconut cream, delicate lemon zest sprinkles, and optional garnishes like fresh mint or a whisper of ground turmeric for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Seed Absorption Timing: Chia seeds require at least 8 hours of refrigeration to fully expand and create the perfect pudding-like texture, so patience is key to achieving the ideal consistency.
- Blending Precision: Use a high-powered blender to ensure a completely smooth mixture, preventing any lumpy or grainy textures that could compromise the pudding’s silky finish.
- Sweetness Customization: Taste and adjust the sweetener gradually, allowing you to personalize the flavor profile to match your preferred level of sweetness.
- Garnish Creativity: Experiment with various toppings like fresh mint, additional lemon zest, or a light sprinkle of turmeric to enhance both the visual appeal and flavor complexity of the final dessert.
