Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled pistachios 120 g
- 2 cups water 475 mL
- ¼ cup sugar 50 g
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- Optional for color: a few spinach leaves or green food coloring
- ¼ cup chia seeds 52 g
- 1 cup white chocolate chips can sub vegan option, 240 g
- Optional for shine: 1 Tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Soak: Add 1 cup shelled pistachios to a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak for at elast 30 minutes to help them blend smoothly.
- Blend: Strain pistachios from the water, then add them to a blender with 2 cups water, ¼ cup sugar, and ¼ tsp almond extract. Optionally add a few spinach leaves or green food coloring. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Stir: Stir ¼ cup chia seeds into the mixture, then portion into 3 or 4 serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until mixture is thicken (it will have a runny pudding-like consistency).
- Top: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup white chocolate chips in 10-second increments, stirring between each round. Optionally add coconut oil to help it melt more easily and to make it shiny when hardened. Use a spoon to carefully drizzle the chocolate over the chia pudding in a very thin layer (if it's too thick, it won't shatter easily when served). When ready to serve, give everyone a spoon to shatter the chocolate topping and enjoy!

Notes
- Storage: Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. If making in advance, wait until you're about to serve to top with white chocolate.
