Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 1/3 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt
- 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 honey mangos, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
Sticky Walnut Crumble
- 4 tbsp walnuts
- 3 tbsp coconut flakes
- 3 medjool dates
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Blend the Mango Lassi Base: Add the plant-based yogurt, canned coconut milk, unsweetened soy milk, vanilla extract, kosher salt, peeled and cubed mangos, ground cardamom, and maple syrup into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine with Chia Seeds and Set: Pour the blended mango mixture into an airtight container. Add the chia seeds and whisk thoroughly to combine. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to thicken.
- Prepare the Walnut Crumble: In a food processor, pulse the walnuts, coconut flakes, medjool dates, ground cardamom, and a pinch of kosher salt until you achieve a fine crumbly texture resembling sticky crumble.
- Assemble and Serve: Divide the chilled chia pudding into serving dishes or jars. Top each serving generously with the sticky walnut crumble. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy pudding and crunchy crumble.
Notes
- For best results, allow chia pudding to set overnight for thicker texture.
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- If mangos are not in season, frozen mango cubes can be used.
- Adjust the maple syrup amount to control sweetness.
- Ensure to stir chia pudding after 10 minutes to prevent clumping.
