How to Prepare a Delicious Pudding with 1 Date…
Here is a simple, healthy and delicious recipe for making a light pudding using only a date as a natural sweetener.
This version is ideal for those looking for a tasty, nutrient-dense dessert that is low in calories and free of refined sugars. Date and almond milk pudding is also a perfect choice for those on a plant-based diet, as it uses plant-based and easily digestible ingredients.
With a touch of chia seeds, this pudding becomes creamy and thick, thanks to the ability of these seeds to absorb liquids and thicken the mixture.
Ingredients :
- 1 Medjool date (or another variety, as long as it’s soft and sweet)
- 200 ml (about 6.8 fl oz or 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
How to Prepare a Delicious Pudding with 1 Date:
- Date preparation: Stone the date and cut it into small pieces. If you prefer more sweetness, you can soak it in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes to soften it further.
- Combine the ingredients: In a blender, add the almond milk, softened date, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and homogeneous.
- Adding the chia seeds: Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the chia seeds. Mix well to distribute the seeds evenly.
- Resting: Cover the bowl and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the pudding has reached the desired consistency. The chia seeds will swell, making the mixture creamy and thick.
- Serving: Stir lightly before serving and, if desired, garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or a few almond slivers to add crunch.
