Equipment
Method
- Whisk milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until blended.
- Stir in chia seeds evenly. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and create a smooth texture.
- Divide the mixture into containers, leaving room for toppings.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
- Serve chilled with blueberries and toasted coconut. Stir in extra milk before serving for a softer consistency if desired.
Notes
For a softer texture, add a splash of milk before serving. Use slightly more chia seeds for a thicker pudding. Freeze portions without toppings for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for the best assembly and texture. Customize with poppy seeds, strawberries, vanilla yogurt, or fresh mint. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
