Lemon Curd Chia Seed Pudding

Lemon Curd Chia Seed Pudding

This creamy, tangy chia seed pudding combines the bright flavor of lemon curd with the nutty texture of chia seeds. It's perfect for a quick breakfast or a light dessert.

• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant‑based milk)
• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 cup lemon curd (store‑bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
• Fresh berries or toasted nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener until well combined.
2. Fold in lemon curd until evenly distributed.
3. Stir in chia seeds, ensuring there are no clumps.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to expand and form a pudding.
5. Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Divide into serving glasses.
6. Top with fresh berries, toasted nuts, or a drizzle of extra lemon curd, if desired.

Health Tip: Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega‑3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar and support heart health. Pairing them with antioxidant‑rich lemon curd adds a vitamin C boost to keep your immune system strong.
