Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) raspberries
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) coconut milk
- 1 cup (240 g / 8.5 oz) plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup (40 g / 1.4 oz) chia seeds
- 2 tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (6 g / 0.2 oz) lemon zest
- 1 ½ tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) honey
Instructions
- Prepare Base: Combine Greek yogurt and coconut milk in a spacious container, whisking until smooth and integrated.
- Seed Infusion: Sprinkle chia seeds into the liquid mixture, stirring vigorously to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution, then add fresh lemon zest and juice to enhance flavor complexity.
- Fruit Integration: Gently fold crushed raspberries into the mixture, allowing their vibrant juices to create a marbled effect and natural sweetness throughout the pudding.
- Sweetening Process: Drizzle honey into the mixture, stirring delicately to balance flavors and create a harmonious blend of tangy and sweet notes.
- Chilling Phase: Seal container tightly and refrigerate overnight, enabling chia seeds to absorb liquid and transform into a luxurious, creamy texture.
- Final Presentation: Remove from refrigerator, stir thoroughly to redistribute ingredients, then serve in individual bowls topped with additional fresh raspberries and a light honey drizzle for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Prevent Seed Clumping: Whisk chia seeds immediately after adding to liquid to avoid lumps and ensure smooth, even texture.
- Maximize Flavor Infusion: Crush raspberries gently while folding to release maximum juice and enhance the pudding’s natural sweetness.
- Optimal Chilling Time: Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow chia seeds to fully absorb liquid and develop creamy consistency.
- Final Texture Tip: Stir pudding thoroughly before serving to redistribute ingredients and achieve a uniform, luxurious texture.
