RASPBERRY AND ROESWATER CHIA PUDDINGS & PISTACHIO CRUMBLE
Packed with flavour, energy and goodness these chia puddings literally take moments to prepare and offer a great alternative to your every day breakfast. They also make a fantastic, healthy snack and the kids will love them. The addition of the rosewater adds a subtle yet aromatic flavour that will get your taste buds dancing! I honestly love these and find they provide me with long-lasting energy. A great healthy energy packed recipe for the whole family. I will defiantly be making a supply of these to feed the kids after a day at the beach!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup almond milk
½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
2 tsp raw honey
½ tsp rosewater
½ tsp maca powder
¼ cup white chia seeds
Pistachio crumble
2 tbsp pistachios, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp shredded coconut
1 tsp coconut sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cardamom
METHOD
- Blend the almond milk, raspberries, honey, rosewater and maca in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a serving glass or jar. Stir in chia seeds and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. After 20 minutes give it a stir to make sure the chia seeds distribute evenly while they set.
- To make the crumble topping, pre-heat the oven to 200°C. Combine pistachios, coconut, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom in a bowl. Sprinkle in a single layer on a baking tray and bake for 4-5 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

5. Add the lecithin if using it and 3/4 cup of coconut oil and blend again until well combined, smooth and the lecithin dissolved.
6. Transfer about 2/3 of the mixture to the spring form (the lemon layer) and smooth it out flat.
7. Add the blueberries, the other 1/4 cup of coconut oil to the mixture in the processor and blend until well combined.
8. Pour over the springform and spread flat and smoothly.
9. Set in the fridge overnight, then decorate with some fresh blueberries and edible flowers
