Description
A delightful and healthy dessert featuring tart raspberries and chia seeds, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- Optional garnishes: fresh raspberries, toasted nuts, or granola
Instructions
- Make the raspberry purée: Place raspberries and maple syrup in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh if you prefer fewer seeds. Reserve about 1/4 cup for swirling on top.
- Combine the base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Sweeten and swirl: Mix most of the raspberry purée into the chia mixture, keeping a little for marbling. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
- Chill: Divide the mixture into jars or bowls. Drop spoonfuls of reserved purée on top and use a skewer to create pretty swirls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of toasted nuts, or a spoonful of granola before serving.
Notes
Use cold, fresh milk and stir well to prevent clumping. For texture troubleshooting, feel free to experiment with different milks or adjust sweetness based on preference.
