Description
A fun and creamy chia pudding bursting with the bright flavors of key lime pie, topped with a crunchy graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 3–4 key limes)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (from key limes)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (or gluten-free substitute)
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (for crust)
- Coconut whipped cream (optional)
- Lime slices or lime zest (for garnish)
- Crushed graham crackers for topping
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined. Gradually stir in the chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand. Spoon into the bottom of serving jars, pressing down lightly to form a crust.
- Once the chia pudding has set, stir it and layer over the prepared crust. Top with coconut whipped cream, extra lime zest, and crushed graham crackers for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled.
Notes
For a richer pudding, swap half of the coconut milk for full-fat coconut cream. Store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
