What tricks will ensure that this Chia Pudding with Lemon Curd tastes just right?

I love to make chia pudding because it is not only practical and easy, you can use it in many recipes.

As I said previously, with the same basis you’re able to make several recipes, tasty and not boring at all!

This is my biggest pleasure, being able to eat food that is tasty and full of character. Forget tasteless or just plain food.

And did you know it is possible to make healthy lemon curd?

You don’t need to make one full of sugar and nasty things. Are you curious?

The big trick for the chia pudding is to stir it very well the mixture until the chia thickens.

It needs a lot of patience, but it is so worth it! Even because chia thickens relatively fast.

It is important to pay attention to the quantities so that the mix doesn’t get too liquid, otherwise, it will not thicken enough.

For the chia pudding with lemon curd you’ll need:

Chia seeds
Milk or plant-based drink
Coconut jelly or another sweetener of your preference
Eggs
Honey, preferably a good quality one. You can use another sweetener, but in this process it is relevant it is a liquid one
Coconut oil
Lemon juice
Lemon zest

Notes

This recipe is super practical and versatile.

You can use whichever topping you want, lemon curd is wonderful but you can use others.

It is also possible to make curd with other fruits, such as wild berries (fresh or frozen) or mango.

Regarding the milk and the plant-based drinks, you can use the one you prefer and you can also make a mix of the milk or plant-based drink with water.

About the toppings, I love this combination with pistachios but use whatever you want from other dried fruits to seeds or chocolate shavings. You get it, choose what you prefer the most.
