Indulge guilt-free in our Chia-Infused Dragon Fruit Delight with Avocado Lime Cream - a vibrant, nutritious dessert bursting with antioxidants!
Ingredients
- • dragon fruit (pitaya), peeled and cubed: 2 cups
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • unsweetened almond milk: 1 cup
- • pure vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • ripe avocado: 1
- • fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • raw honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • unsweetened coconut flakes: 1/4 cup
- • fresh mint leaves, for garnish: a few sprigs
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Stir in the vanilla extract until well mixed. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the mixture thickens into a pudding-like consistency.
- 2 While the chia pudding sets, prepare the avocado lime cream. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime juice, and raw honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness according to taste.
- 3 Once the chia pudding is ready, gently fold in the cubed dragon fruit. Divide the mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
- 4 Top each serving with a generous dollop of avocado lime cream. Sprinkle with unsweetened coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
- 5 Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving to enhance the dessert's visual appeal and aroma.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Chia-Infused Dragon Fruit Delight is best enjoyed chilled, making it a refreshing choice for a warm day. Pair this dessert with a cup of herbal tea or a glass of infused water for a light and detoxifying finish. To add a contrasting texture, consider serving with a small handful of toasted nuts or seeds on the side. For a more indulgent experience, drizzle a bit of dark chocolate sauce over the top. The slight bitterness of dark chocolate complements the sweetness of the dragon fruit and the creaminess of the avocado, creating a well-rounded flavor profile.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover Chia-Infused Dragon Fruit Delight in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the avocado lime cream separate to maintain its freshness and vibrant color. When ready to serve again, give the chia mixture a gentle stir and top with the cream just before serving.
