Ingredients
- • quinoa: 1/2 cup
- • water: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • almond milk: 1 1/2 cups
- • fresh mango: 1 cup, diced
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • cardamom powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • raw honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and the water is absorbed.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chia seeds, and almond milk. Stir well to combine and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the chia seeds expand and thicken the mixture.
- 3 Add the diced mango, shredded coconut, cardamom powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- 4 Transfer the pudding into serving glasses or bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
- 5 Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of freshness and enjoy this luscious, nutritious dessert.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Spiced Chia & Quinoa Fruit Pudding pairs wonderfully with a refreshing herbal tea, such as chamomile or mint, enhancing its tropical flavors. Consider serving it with a side of mixed berries to add an extra layer of texture and vibrant color. For a more indulgent experience, top with a dollop of coconut yogurt to complement the coconut shreds and provide a creamy contrast. This dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or as a light, nutritious post-dinner treat. Its vibrant colors and rich flavors make it an eye-catching addition to any dessert table.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain its freshness, avoid adding mint leaves until just before serving. If the pudding thickens too much over time, simply stir in a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
