Description
A creamy basil seed pudding layered with mashed fruit, perfect for a refreshing dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened Greek-style yogurt (or plain yogurt (see notes))
- 1/2 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- 1 tablespoon date syrup (or to taste (optional))
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons basil seeds ((see notes))
- 2/3 cup mashed fruit
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the yogurt, nondairy milk, date syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Adjust date syrup to taste, if using.
- Add the basil seeds: Stir in the basil seeds very well so they are evenly distributed.
- Let it sit: Set aside for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. This step is important because basil seeds gel quickly.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes, or overnight for the thickest, creamiest texture.
- Mash the fruit: Mash fruit with a fork until juicy but still slightly textured.
- Layer: Spoon some pudding into a jar, add mashed fruit, then repeat with another layer of pudding and fruit.
- Serve: Enjoy as is, or top with extra fruit, chopped nuts, granola, or a drizzle of date syrup.
Notes
- For a thicker pudding, let it sit overnight.
- Any type of mashed fruit can be used, such as bananas, berries, or peaches.
