- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons limoncello
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Mixed fresh fruit slices (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, limoncello, vanilla extract, and honey until well blended.
- Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir well to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
- Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir to redistribute the seeds.
- Spoon the pudding into individual serving jars or bowls and top with fresh fruit slices.
- Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Helpful Tips
- If you find the pudding too thick, stir in a little more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- For added texture, garnishing with nuts or coconut flakes can be a delightful twist.
- If you’re making this for kids, omit the limoncello and add some lemon zest for a bright, zesty flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The fresh fruit toppings are best added just before serving to keep them vibrant and fresh.
Ingredient Substitutions
- For a nut-free version, replace almond milk with any other milk of your choice like oat or coconut milk.
- Use agave syrup or stevia as a substitute for honey or maple syrup, depending on your preference.
- You can swap the limoncello with a non-alcoholic limoncello syrup or fresh lemon juice for a family-friendly option.
