Indulge in a healthy dessert with chia, passionfruit, and coconut matcha swirl. A vibrant, nutritious treat perfect for clean eating enthusiasts!
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 2 cups
- • passionfruit pulp: 1/2 cup (from about 4 passionfruits)
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • matcha powder: 2 teaspoons
- • shredded unsweetened coconut: 1/4 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, mix chia seeds with coconut milk, stirring well to prevent clumping. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to ensure even distribution of seeds.
- 2 Add the passionfruit pulp and pure maple syrup to the chia mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to swell and the flavors to meld.
- 3 While the chia mixture chills, prepare the matcha swirl by mixing matcha powder with 2 tablespoons of coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth and lump-free.
- 4 Once the chia pudding has set, gently fold the matcha mixture into the pudding, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to over-mix to maintain the swirl pattern.
- 5 Serve the chia-passionfruit delight in individual cups or bowls. Top with shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves for garnish, adding a refreshing touch and visual appeal.
Serving Suggestions
- • This dessert pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad made from tropical fruits like mango, kiwi, and pineapple, enhancing its exotic flavor profile. Consider serving with a light herbal tea, such as lemongrass or mint, to complement the vibrant notes of the chia and passionfruit. For an elegant presentation, use small glass jars or cups to display the marbled swirl effect, and add a sprig of mint for a fragrant finishing touch. To elevate the sensory experience, sprinkle a few edible flowers, such as violets or pansies, over the top, adding pops of color and a touch of sophistication to this simple yet stunning dessert. The combination of textures and flavors makes this an ideal offering for gatherings, brunches, or simply as a delightful end to a day focused on wellness and self-care.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the freshness and texture of the dessert, avoid storing garnishes like mint leaves or edible flowers with the pudding. Instead, add these just before serving. If you find the pudding has thickened too much after refrigeration, stir in a small amount of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
