Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 1/3 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt
- 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 honey mangos, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
Sticky Walnut Crumble
- 4 tbsp walnuts
- 3 tbsp coconut flakes
- 3 medjool dates
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Blend the Lassi Mixture: Add the plant-based yogurt, canned coconut milk, soy milk, vanilla, salt, peeled and cubed mango, ground cardamom, and maple syrup into a blender cup. Blend everything until you achieve a smooth, creamy mango lassi base.
- Incorporate Chia Seeds: Pour the chia seeds into an airtight container. Pour the blended mango milk mixture over the chia seeds and whisk thoroughly to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the seeds to absorb the liquid, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the chia pudding set and thicken.
- Prepare the Walnut Crumble: In a food processor, add walnuts, coconut flakes, medjool dates, ground cardamom, and a pinch of kosher salt. Pulse the ingredients until you have a fine, sticky crumble texture suitable for topping.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the chia pudding into serving dishes. Top each portion generously with the sticky walnut crumble. Serve immediately and enjoy this deliciously refreshing treat.
Notes
- For best results, soak the chia pudding overnight to ensure a creamy and thick texture.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity according to the sweetness of your mangoes.
- You can substitute walnuts with almonds or pecans if preferred.
- Use fresh, ripe honey mangos for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- This pudding is best served chilled but can be left at room temperature for a short time before eating.
