Ginger-grapefruit chia pudding with coconut and maple syrup is a refreshing and nutritious recipe that combines the creaminess of coconut and almond milk with the tangy zest of grapefruit and the subtle spice of ginger. This healthy dessert is also enriched with chia seeds, which are packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk and almond milk.
- Add the chia seeds to the bowl and stir thoroughly to ensure they are evenly dispersed.
- Mix in the grated ginger root and the vanilla extract.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Stir occasionally during the first hour to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- While the chia pudding is setting, peel the grapefruit and carefully segment it, removing any seeds and membranes. You want to use the juicy flesh of the grapefruit.
- Cut the grapefruit segments into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
- Once the chia pudding has set and has a thick, creamy consistency, gently fold in the dried coconut meat and maple syrup. Mix well to combine.
- Divide the chia pudding among serving bowls or glasses.
- Top each serving with the prepared grapefruit pieces.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of additional dried coconut meat or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately, or store the assembled pudding in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For a thicker pudding, let the mixture sit in the refrigerator overnight.
- You can use any plant-based milk instead of coconut and almond milk, such as oat or soy milk.
- Grate ginger finely for a more even distribution and to avoid large ginger chunks.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preference.
- Top the pudding with fresh fruit, nuts, or extra dried coconut for added texture and flavor before serving.
