Ingredients

For the chia pudding

  • 400g/14oz of full-fat crème fraîche (preferably organic)
  • 6 tbsp chia seeds (available from health food stores)
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp honey, preferably raw, to taste
  • 300g/10½ raspberries
  • 20 drops pure stevia extract (available from health food stores)

To garnish

Method

  1. Blend the crème fraîche with the chia seeds, vanilla extract, honey, raspberries (reserving a handful of the raspberries for the garnish) and salt until smooth and well combined. Add the stevia, taking care to taste after each drop as stevia is very sweet.

  2. Chill the chia mixture in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

  3. To serve, divide the chia pudding equally among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with the reserved raspberries, toasted nuts and orange zest.

Recipe Tips

As an alternative to the crème fraîche you can use 80g/3oz cahsews. Put the cashews in a bowl and pour over 500ml/17fl oz of cold water. Soak for 3 hours, then drain well and rinse under cold running water.
