Lemon Curd Chia Pudding

Lemon Curd Chia Pudding blends fresh lemon zest and juice with coconut milk, sweetener, turmeric, and chia seeds for a tangy, creamy pudding. The mixture thickens overnight as chia seeds absorb the liquid, yielding a textured yet smooth dessert with a bright citrus flavor and a subtle earthy note from turmeric. It offers a refreshing option for breakfast or a light snack.

Ingredients

  • lemon or 2 small lemons, zest, of a large lemon
  • lemon juice of 2 large lemons
  • 13.5 or 15 oz coconut milk about 1.5 cups, full fat, canned
  • 1/4 cup water optional
  • 3 tbsp sweetener I use raw sugar, or more
  • salt a good pinch
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric or more
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds 5 to 6 tbsp for well set pudding, or more

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the lemon zest, juice, coconut milk, water, sweetener, salt and turmeric until well combined. Add chia seeds and pulse once or twice to distribute the chia seeds well.
  2. Taste and adjust sweet and tang. Add more lemon juice or zest to taste and mix/blend in.
  3. Pour the mixture into glasses. Chill overnight in the refrigerator. Stir once after an hour or so to distribute the chia seeds if needed.
  4. Garnish with whipped coconut cream and lemon zest and serve.

Notes

  • For a firmer pudding, increase chia seeds by 1 tablespoon or more as needed.
  • Chia seeds require at least overnight refrigeration to properly hydrate and set the pudding.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for best texture and pudding consistency.
  • Adjust lemon juice and zest to balance flavor and liquid content.
  • Substitute lime juice and zest for a lime-flavored variation.
  • For a lighter version, mix full-fat and lite coconut milk.
