Ingredients

Chia Pudding Layer

  • 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
  • 1 Cup Oat Milk
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Lemon Cream Pudding Layer

  • 1 Cup Raw Cashews (soaked for one hour in hot water and drained)
  • 1/2 Cup Oat Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Turmeric (for color)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chia Pudding Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together chia seeds, oat milk, lemon zest, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt for about one minute until well combined.
  2. Set Chia Pudding: Refrigerate the chia mixture for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow it to thicken and set.
  3. Soak Cashews: Soak raw cashews in boiling water for one hour or overnight in room temperature water, then drain thoroughly.
  4. Make Lemon Cream: In a blender, combine soaked cashews, oat milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, turmeric, and lemon extract. Blend on high until the mixture is silky smooth and evenly blended.
  5. Assemble Jars: Divide the set chia pudding evenly into 4 small jars or serving containers.
  6. Add Lemon Cream Layer: Pour the blended lemon cream evenly over the chia pudding layers in the jars.
  7. Final Set: Refrigerate the assembled jars for an additional 3 hours to let the lemon cream layer set and flavors meld.
  8. Serve: Optionally top with fresh fruit before serving and enjoy this healthy, creamy dessert or breakfast option.

Notes

  • Soaking cashews overnight in room temperature water can produce a creamier texture than the quick hot water soak.
  • For a thicker chia pudding, increase chia seeds by 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best vibrant flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Optional toppings include fresh berries, sliced kiwi, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes.
