Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons raw, unsalted cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour and drained
  • 1 cup plain soymilk or any milk you prefer
  • 4 bags of earl grey tea
  • 1/2 cup thick coconut cream from a can
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds for thicker texture, or 3 tablespoons for softer texture

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak the Cashews Begin by soaking the cashews to ensure they are soft and blend smoothly. Cover them with boiling water in a bowl and set them aside for 1 hour. This will allow the cashews to soften and be ready for blending later.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Tea-Infused Milk Heat some soymilk in a small saucepan over medium to medium-high heat until it reaches just below boiling point, around 200 degrees if you have a thermometer. Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat and add tea bags. Let the tea steep in the milk for 4 to 5 minutes. Before removing the tea bags, press them gently with a spoon against the side of the pan to extract maximum flavor. Set the tea-infused milk aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Blend the Ingredients In a small blender, such as a NutriBullet, combine the coconut cream, the drained cashews, the cooled tea-infused milk, vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup. Alternatively, you can use a straight-sided liquid measuring cup or a tall bowl with an immersion blender. Blend the mixture until it is very smooth. For the best results, blend for 20-30 seconds, allow it to sit for a minute or two, and then blend again.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Chia Seeds After blending, stir in the chia seeds without blending them. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin expanding. Stir gently as needed to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and do not all settle at the bottom.
  5. Step 5: Portion and Chill Divide the mixture among 3 individual containers or pour it into one larger container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until it becomes firm, or leave it overnight for the best texture. This resting time will allow the chia seeds to fully expand and thicken the mixture.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy Once set, serve the chilled treat with your favorite toppings, such as fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup. Enjoy this creamy and delicious pudding-like dessert!

Notes

  • Soaking cashews for 1 hour softens them for smooth blending.
  • Press the tea bags for maximum flavor extraction.
  • For best texture, refrigerate pudding overnight.
  • Stir chia seeds gently to prevent settling.
