Ingredients
Scale
For the Mango Lassi Chia Pudding
- 1/3 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt
- 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 honey mangos, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
For the Sticky Walnut Crumble
- 4 tbsp walnuts
- 3 tbsp coconut flakes
- 3 medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Blend the Mango Mixture: Add the plant-based yogurt, coconut milk, soy milk, vanilla extract, kosher salt, peeled and cubed honey mangos, ground cardamom, and maple syrup into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mango mixture into an airtight container. Add the chia seeds, then whisk thoroughly to combine and prevent clumping. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any chia clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken.
- Prepare the Walnut Crumble: In a food processor, combine the walnuts, coconut flakes, pitted medjool dates, ground cardamom, and a pinch of kosher salt. Pulse until the mixture forms a fine, sticky crumble with some texture remaining.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the chilled chia pudding into serving dishes. Top each portion generously with the sticky walnut crumble. Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, creamy, and crunchy delight.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangos for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Maple syrup quantity can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness level.
- The pudding can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower and omit coconut flakes if necessary.
- If you do not have a food processor, finely chop the crumble ingredients and mix well by hand, but texture may vary.
