Description
No-Bake Chia Pudding Bars with Zesty Coconut Lime Flavor are a refreshing treat that combines the creaminess of coconut with the zesty brightness of lime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (80g) chia seeds
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup or agave nectar
- Zest of 1 large lime
- Juice of 1/2 large lime (about 2 tbsp / 30ml)
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- For the optional crust:
- 1 cup (140g) almonds or cashews
- 1/2 cup (45g) shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup (45g) Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) melted coconut oil
- Pinch of salt
- For the topping:
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Extra lime zest
Instructions
- If you’re using the optional crust, place the almonds or cashews, shredded coconut, Medjool dates, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and the mixture begins to stick together. Press into a lined 8×8-inch square pan and refrigerate.
- In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or agave nectar, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again.
- Cover and refrigerate the pudding mixture for at least 3 hours or overnight until thickened.
- Once thickened, remove the crust (if made) from the fridge and spoon the pudding mixture over it. If no crust is made, just pour the pudding into a dish.
- Return to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 more hours until set.
- Before serving, top with toasted coconut flakes and extra lime zest.
- Slice the pudding into squares or bars and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seeds instead of almonds or cashews.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Experiment with different toppings such as fresh fruit or granola.
