Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp chia seeds of any type
  • 1½ cups coconut milk
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
Topping
  • 1 durian wedge (use canned if you can’t find fresh)
  • ½ abiu fruit (see Note)
  • ½ starfruit
  • ½ passionfruit
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 1 tsp icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut yoghurt (dairy-free if you are making this a vegan recipe)

Instructions

  1. Place the chia, coconut milk and brown sugar in a bowl and mix, then divide equally between two short wide jars. Set aside.
  2. With the tropical fruits, using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out spoonfuls of fruit and place them in the bowl.  Add passionfruit pulp.
  3. Grate in the zest of the lime along with squeezing the juice, and add icing sugar, in with the bowl of fruit. Mix together so everything is coated.  With a spoon carefully pick up the fruit and place it on top of the chia pudding. Spoon over the coconut yoghurt and serve.
Note
Abiu is a tropical fruit originally from South America. You can substitute other fruit of choice.
