Chia Matcha Pudding Recipe
Description
This pudding mixes coconut milk with chia seeds, matcha powder, maple syrup, and the zest and juice of a lemon, then chills briefly to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture. The resulting texture balances the creamy richness of coconut milk with the slight crunch and gel-like body of hydrated chia seeds. The matcha powder adds vibrant color and a mild earthy flavor paired with citrus brightness from the lemon ingredients.
After an initial chill and another whisk, the pudding is divided into servings and refrigerated to set further. It's served topped with coconut whipped cream, extra matcha, chia seeds, and lemon slices for an attractive presentation and extra texture. This pudding maintains freshness in the fridge for up to three days, making it suitable for make-ahead plans.
