Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Produce:
- 1 cup raspberries
Other Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice
Thickening Agent:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Transform ripe raspberries, pomegranate juice, and honey into a vibrant crimson purée using a blender or food processor, creating a smooth fruity foundation.
- Whisk almond milk, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract in a bowl, allowing the mixture to rest for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally to prevent seed clumping.
- Create elegant layers by carefully pouring the raspberry-pomegranate mixture into serving glasses, establishing a vivid base.
- Gently spoon the thickened chia mixture atop the fruit layer, ensuring clean and distinct stratification.
- Refrigerate desserts for 2 hours at 40°F, allowing the chia pudding to develop a luxurious, gelatinous consistency.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering fresh pomegranate seeds, whole raspberries, and delicate mint leaves across the chilled dessert just before serving.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting honey or maple syrup to personal taste preferences.
- Replace almond milk with coconut milk for a richer, tropical twist and dairy-free option.
- Soak chia seeds longer for extra thick and creamy pudding texture, ideal for meal prep.
- Prepare base and chia layers separately in advance, storing up to 3 days in sealed containers for quick, convenient dessert assembly.
