Lemon Curd Chia Pudding
Dessert, Misc, To Try
Ingredients
Zest of a large lemon or 2 small lemons
Juice of 2 large lemons
13.5 or 15 oz (400 or 445 ml) can full fat coconut milk about 1.5 cups
1/4 cup (62.5 ml) water optional
3 tbsp or more sweetener I use raw sugar
a good pinch of salt
1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) or more turmeric
3 tbsp or more chia seeds 5 to 6 tbsp for well set pudding
Directions
Blend the lemon zest, juice, coconut milk, water, sweetener, salt and turmeric until well combined. Add chia seeds and pulse once or twice to distribute the chia seeds well.
Taste and adjust sweet and tang. Add more lemon juice or zest to taste and mix/blend in.
Pour the mixture into glasses. Chill overnight in the refrigerator. Stir once after an hour or so to distribute the chia seeds if needed.
Garnish with whipped coconut cream and lemon zest and serve.
Notes
Variation: Use lime juice and zest for Lime pudding. Use a mix of full fat and lite coconut milk for a lower fat content.
For a more set pudding use 1 tbsp more chia seeds. I like my pudding with less chia and more of the lemony coconut milk. Chia seeds take atleast overnight to hydrate and set the pudding.
