Ingredients

Scale

Key Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk)
  • 2–3 fresh key limes, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lime mixture: Zest the key limes carefully and squeeze out the fresh juice. In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, natural sweetener, and vanilla extract (natural). Stir in the plant-based milk until well blended, allowing the bright lime flavors to infuse.
  2. Add the chia seeds and natural gelling agent: Sprinkle in the chia seeds and natural gelling agent, whisking thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution for a creamy, firm texture.
  3. Refrigerate and set: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the chia seeds swell and the natural gelling agent thicken the pudding properly.
  4. Stir and serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well to smooth it out. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime intensity if desired. Serve chilled with optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Use ripe key limes for maximum flavor intensity.
  • Whisk chia seeds and natural gelling agent vigorously to avoid clumps.
  • Plan ahead to allow sufficient chilling time for the pudding to set.
  • Adjust natural sweetener gradually to your preferred taste.
  • Experiment with different plant-based milks to vary creaminess and flavor.
