Ingredients

For the Chia Pudding Layer:

¼ cup chia seeds

1 cup oat milk

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons maple syrup

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon sea salt

For the Lemon Cream Pudding Layer:

1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 1 hour in hot water and drained)

½ cup oat milk

2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons lemon juice

¼ teaspoon turmeric (for color)

½ teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chia pudding layer: Combine chia seeds, oat milk, lemon zest, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a bowl. Whisk for about a minute until combined, then refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the lemon cream pudding layer: In a blender, combine soaked cashews, oat milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, turmeric, and lemon extract. Blend until smooth and silky.
  3. Assemble the pudding: Divide the chia pudding evenly into 4 small jars or containers. Spoon the lemon cream pudding on top of the chia layer.
  4. Chill: Place jars in the fridge and chill for another 3 hours before serving.
  5. Serve: Top with fresh fruit, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute oat milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk as needed.
  • For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add 1 teaspoon minced fermented lemon rind in place of lemon extract.
  • Add Greek yogurt to the lemon pudding layer for a probiotic boost.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using agave syrup or stevia instead of maple syrup.
