Description

This Mango Lassi Chia Pudding with Sticky Walnut Crumble is a refreshing and nutritious dessert inspired by the classic Indian mango lassi drink. It combines creamy plant-based yogurt with tropical mango and warming cardamom flavors, layered with a crunchy walnut and date crumble. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or a satisfying snack, this recipe is dairy-free, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and packed with fiber and protein-rich chia seeds.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened plain plant-based yogurt
  • 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 honey mangos, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds

Sticky Walnut Crumble

  • 4 tbsp walnuts
  • 3 tbsp coconut flakes
  • 3 medjool dates
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Blend the Mango Mixture: Add the plant-based yogurt, coconut milk, soy milk, vanilla, kosher salt, cubed honey mangos, ground cardamom, and maple syrup into a blender. Blend everything until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency similar to a mango lassi.
  2. Mix Chia Seeds and Rest: Transfer the chia seeds into an airtight container or bowl. Pour in the blended mango mixture and whisk together thoroughly to prevent chia clumps. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps formed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding texture.
  3. Prepare the Sticky Walnut Crumble: Place the walnuts, coconut flakes, medjool dates, ground cardamom, and a pinch of kosher salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes a fine, sticky crumble, perfect for adding crunch and sweetness to the pudding.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Portion the chilled chia pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top each serving generously with the sticky walnut crumble. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of creamy, fruity pudding with the nutty, sweet crunch.

Notes

  • For best texture, soak the chia seeds in the mango mixture for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
  • You can adjust the maple syrup amount depending on the sweetness of your mangos and your personal preference.
  • Use ripe, juicy mangoes for vibrant flavor; frozen mango chunks can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • The crumble can be stored separately in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain its crunch.
  • Feel free to substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds based on availability or preference.
