Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 4 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup + more to taste preference
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional (if tolerated)
For the (optional) topping
- coconut cream optional
- ginger powder to dust
Instructions
- Add the non-dairy milk, pumpkin puree, ginger, cardamom, turmeric and maple syrup in a bowl and whisk (or use a blender) to combine.
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds and whisk very thoroughly so they are evenly spread and not forming clumps (as they like to do!). Pour into a container that can be sealed and refrigerate for at least two hours. If you can, stir halfway through.
- Optional - use an electric mixer to make the coconut cream topping. Whisk so that it forms a fluffy texture.
- Spoon your chia pudding into your serving bowl or jar, then top with the coconut cream and a dusting of ginger powder if you like. Then enjoy!
Notes
- The star anise is used here for decorative purposes, but if you tolerate then you can add a touch to the chia pudding.
- Giving the chia pudding a good stir after an hour should prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- The cinnamon is optional, and only for those who tolerate it.
- If you are not on a low histamine diet, then you can use ready-done pumpkin spice instead.
