Use Purée Dragon Fruit, Frozen, Andros (1kg) to make this recipe. Dragon fruit purée gives chia pudding vivid colour and a mild tropical flavour. Coconut adds richness and lime brings definition, while a second stir prevents the seeds settling into a dense layer.
Whisk dragon fruit purée, coconut drink, chia seeds, lime, vanilla and salt.
Taste and add maple syrup only if needed.
Leave for ten minutes, then whisk again to break up any seed clusters.
Divide between four jars and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
Why this recipe works
Chia absorbs liquid gradually, and the second stir creates an even set. Lime gives the mild dragon fruit a clearer finish without changing the texture.
Practical tips and variations
Check the purée label before adding sweetener.
For a thinner pudding, stir in coconut drink after chilling.
Keep toppings separate until serving.
Serving and storage
Cover and refrigerate for up to three days. Stir before eating if any liquid has separated.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my chia pudding not thicken?
The ratio may contain too little chia, or the seeds may need more time to hydrate.
Can I use dairy milk?
Yes. The texture will be similar but the coconut flavour will be milder.
Can I freeze chia pudding?
It can be frozen, but the texture is best when freshly refrigerated.
