Indulge in a vibrant dragonfruit quinoa pudding with coconut lime drizzle. A healthy dessert that dazzles with nutritious superfoods. Try it today!
Ingredients
- • quinoa: 1 cup, rinsed
- • water: 2 cups
- • dragonfruit: 2, peeled and diced
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • lime zest: 1 teaspoon
- • lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup, toasted
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: a pinch
Instructions
- 1 In a medium saucepan, bring the quinoa and water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced dragonfruit, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, half of the lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- 3 Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the chia seeds to thicken the pudding.
- 4 Before serving, toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5 Serve the dragonfruit quinoa pudding in individual bowls, topped with toasted coconut and the remaining lime zest for a refreshing finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Dragonfruit and Quinoa Pudding is a versatile dessert that pairs beautifully with a light herbal tea or a chilled glass of coconut water for a refreshing finish. Consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves to elevate the visual appeal and add a hint of minty freshness. For a more tropical experience, serve with slices of fresh mango or a scoop of dairy-free coconut ice cream. The vibrant colors and flavors will complement the pudding's richness, making it an irresistible treat.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious. If you find it thickens too much, simply stir in a splash of coconut milk before serving to restore its creamy consistency.
