Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of chia seeds with 2 cups of almond milk or coconut milk. Stir vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Add in ¼ cup of maple syrup or honey, along with the zest of one lemon and the juice from that lemon. Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract if desired. Stir all the ingredients together until well-combined, ensuring every chia seed is coated.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  4. Once your pudding has set, stir well. Adjust consistency by adding a splash of almond milk or coconut milk if too thick, and taste to add more sweetness if needed.
  5. Spoon the creamy Lemon Cream Chia Pudding into serving bowls or jars and add your desired toppings.
