Strawberry Milk Chia Pudding
Ingredients - Chia Pudding
1/2 cup - chia seeds
2 cups - almond milk
1 1/2 cups - coconut cream
2 tbsp - maple syrup
2 tsp - vanilla extract
1/4 tsp - salt
6 strawberries
Strawberry Jam
1 container or 1 pound of strawberries thoroughly washed
2 tbsp - vegan butter
1/4 cup - lemon juice
1/4 cup - brown sugar
1 tbsp - corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water
Streusel
1 cup - flour
3/4 cup - brown sugar
1/4 tsp - salt
6 tbsp - cold butter
1/4 cup - brown butter
1/2 cup - oats
1 tsp - cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1 - Prep your chia pudding
Mix all your chia seed pudding ingredients together. I used a Nutribullet to blend the strawberries into the almond milk and then whisked everything together and let it set in a container over night. In the morning upon checking on your chia seed pudding give it another good whisk.
Step 2 - Making the strawberry jam
To make your jam, sauté your strawberries in vegan butter and cook till softened. Once soft add in your lemon juice and allow to cook down a few more min. Add in your brown sugar and stir on low to medium heat to thicken. Lastly whisk in your cornstarch slurry and allow to set on the lowest heat stirring till desired texture. Pour into a dish or mason jar to reserve to use later.
Step 3 - Making the streusel
To make streusel, add in all your dry ingredients to a bowl and with your hands, squish the butter into the flour to make a crumbly mixture till well combined. Lastly pour your browned butter and mix well. Transfer to a sheet tray or baking dish and bake for 10-20 min checking on it periodically and stirring here and there to allow it to golden evenly till golden brown. Then set aside to cool.
Step 4 - Assemble the chia jars
Time to assemble your masterpiece. Get as fancy or rustic as you would like layering your chia pudding and jam and topping off with your streusel and fresh fruits of your choice. Save in a food safe air tight container for up to 7 days.
