Description

Indulge in a fragrant and comforting chai-infused chia custard, a delightful dairy-free dessert that caters to various dietary preferences, including vegan. This creamy creation achieves its luscious texture through the natural thickening power of chia seeds, transforming it into a guilt-free and satisfying treat. Imagine the gentle warmth of chai spices – cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves – swirling together, infusing the creamy custard base with their aromatic essence.

Each spoonful offers a harmonious blend of flavors, a comforting embrace that soothes the senses. The chia seeds, besides their nutritional benefits, contribute a unique textural element. When blended, they create a velvety smoothness, punctuated by the occasional subtle pop, adding a playful contrast to the overall experience.

Served chilled, this chai chia custard offers a refreshing respite, making it a perfect ending to any meal or a satisfying snack any time of day. Its versatility extends beyond being a standalone dessert. Consider it as a luscious topping for fresh berries, their tartness beautifully complementing the custard's spiced sweetness.

Or, for an added layer of indulgence, spoon it over a crunchy, grain-free granola, creating a symphony of textures and flavors. The possibilities are endless. For the smoothest possible custard, a high-speed blender is recommended to fully incorporate the chia seeds.

However, a standard blender will also work, though the final texture may retain a slightly grainier consistency. Regardless of the blending method, the resulting custard will be a testament to the simple elegance of plant-based desserts, a treat that nourishes both body and soul with its wholesome ingredients and captivating flavors. This chai chia custard is more than just a dessert; it's an invitation to savor the moment, to indulge in a creamy, spiced delight that leaves you feeling both satisfied and refreshed.

    Add the chia seeds and 1 cup of almond milk to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
    2.
    In a small pan, combine the remaining almond milk, ginger, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, and xylitol. Heat over low/medium heat, bringing the milk to a gentle simmer (do not boil).
