Chia berry pudding

 

This is a tasty and easy dessert that you can make ahead of time and have sitting ready in the fridge. Play around with the ratios. Use less chia if you want a less-firm custard. Chia sure beats gelatine or junket tables for ease. Plus you get the nourishment of a whole food.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (100 g) raw white chia seeds
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cow’s milk or soy, almond or rice mylk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)
  • ½ cup (3-4 or 125 g) fresh strawberries, trimmed and halved if big
  • FOR THE TOPPING
  • 2 x 125 g punnets of berries
