Indulge in a healthy Chilled Spiced Persimmon & Chia Pudding, a nutrient-rich dessert with fresh fruits and spices. Perfect for guilt-free sweet cravings!
Ingredients
- • ripe persimmons: 3 large, peeled and chopped
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened almond milk: 2 cups
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • ground nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- • pure vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • pinch of sea salt
- • pomegranate seeds: 1/2 cup, for garnish
- • chopped pistachios: 1/4 cup, for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the persimmons. Peel and chop them into small cubes, ensuring they are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- 2 In a blender, combine the chopped persimmons, almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 3 Pour the persimmon mixture into a large bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
- 4 Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- 5 Once set, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. Serve in individual bowls, garnished with pomegranate seeds and chopped pistachios for a burst of color and crunch.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Chilled Spiced Persimmon & Chia Pudding is best enjoyed as a refreshing dessert after a light meal. Its vibrant flavors pair beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of coconut yogurt for added creaminess. For a beverage, consider serving it with a warm cup of herbal tea, such as chamomile or cinnamon, to complement the spices in the pudding. For an elegant presentation, layer the pudding with additional chopped fruits like kiwi or mango in a glass, creating a parfait-style dessert that's visually appealing and perfect for entertaining guests.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pudding may continue to thicken over time, so feel free to add a splash of almond milk if needed before serving. Ensure that the garnishes are added just before serving to maintain their freshness and texture.
