Indulge in a nutritious Tropical Chia Coconut Pudding with creamy avocado and spiced kiwi. A healthy dessert bursting with exotic flavors.
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 2 cups
- • ripe avocado: 1, peeled and pitted
- • honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons (optional)
- • kiwi: 4, peeled and sliced
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • shredded coconut: 1/4 cup (for garnish)
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
- 2 Once the chia pudding is set, blend the avocado with vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup (if using) until smooth and creamy. This will add a rich, creamy texture to the pudding.
- 3 In a small bowl, toss the sliced kiwi with ground cinnamon and ground ginger until the slices are evenly coated. This spiced mixture will add an aromatic and flavorful twist to the dessert.
- 4 To assemble, divide the chia pudding into four serving bowls. Top each with a generous dollop of the avocado cream, followed by a few slices of spiced kiwi. Garnish with shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves for a vibrant presentation.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Tropical Chia Coconut Pudding is best enjoyed chilled, offering a refreshing end to your meal. Pair it with a cup of herbal tea, such as chamomile or peppermint, to enhance the calming and soothing effect of this dessert. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider serving it alongside a small bowl of mixed tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, which complement the flavors perfectly. If you're hosting a gathering, present this dessert in clear glasses or bowls to showcase its beautiful layers, inviting your guests to savor the aesthetic appeal as much as the taste.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the freshness and nutritional value, keep the avocado cream separate until you're ready to serve. The kiwi slices can be stored in a sealed container for up to 2 days, but for the best flavor and texture, it's recommended to slice fresh kiwi just before serving.
