Chia pudding with coconut milk

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To make chia pudding with coconut milk, we will need: coconut milk; lemons; honey; chia seeds; turmeric; salt.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the chia seeds thoroughly and discard them on a fine sieve. At least that's what was indicated on the package. Since I was working with chia for the first time, I did everything according to the instructions. As a result, the seeds swelled greatly and became slippery.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the zest from the lemons, trying to remove only the yellow part without the white layer, otherwise the finished dessert will be bitter. I immediately grate the zest on a medium grater. This way the zest will reveal its flavor better. Anyway, later the mixture will need to be filtered through a sieve, so all the zest will remain in the sieve.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut the lemons in half.

5. Step 5:

   

   Squeeze the juice out of them.

6. Step 6:

   

   Combine coconut milk, honey, lemon juice and zest, turmeric and salt in a blender bowl. Let the presence of turmeric not confuse. It gives the dessert a yellowish color and a light aftertaste.

8. Step 7:

   

   Beat everything until smooth. After whipping, you can rub the mixture through a sieve to cut off the zest. But if you are calm about the zest in desserts, then it is not necessary to filter the mixture. With the zest, it still turns out more fragrant.

   Add chia seeds.
