Ingredients

• Chia Pudding
• 400 ml (1 2/3 cups) coconut milk (preferably full fat, canned)
• 60 g (1/3 cup) chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave syrup
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Passionfruit Purée
• 4 passionfruits (pulp only, seeds optional)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
• Toppings
• 30 g (1/3 cup) fresh coconut, thinly sliced or shredded
• Extra passionfruit pulp (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 2

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.

Step 3

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the pudding is thick and creamy.

Step 4

For the passionfruit purée, combine passionfruit pulp, lime juice, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Mix well and adjust sweetness if needed.

Step 5

To serve, divide the chia pudding into four glasses or bowls. Spoon the passionfruit purée over the top of each serving.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh coconut, extra passionfruit pulp, and mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best consistency, ensure you do not skip the second stir after 10 minutes of resting. This prevents the chia seeds from sinking to the bottom and clumping. Note that this recipe contains coconut, which is a tree nut allergen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

To experiment with flavors, try adding diced mango or pineapple for a more complex tropical twist. If you are not following a vegan diet, honey makes an excellent substitute for the maple syrup in both the pudding and the purée.

Serviervorschläge

Transform this dish into a breakfast parfait by layering the chia pudding with your favorite granola in tall glasses. For a professional finish, garnish with extra passionfruit pulp and fresh mint leaves just before serving.
