Description
Six small coconut chia cups with chilled orange compote.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Unsweetened canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup, for pudding
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 oranges Oranges
- 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup, for compote
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk 2 cups well-stirred unsweetened canned coconut milk with 1/2 cup chia seeds, 2 tbsp maple syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Rest ten minutes, whisk again to break clumps, then divide among six small glasses.
- Refrigerate the glasses covered for at least four hours until spoonably thick. Meanwhile peel and segment three oranges over a bowl, saving juice.
- Reserve 1 tbsp cool orange juice for a slurry. Simmer segments and the remaining juice with 1 tbsp maple syrup for about five minutes. Mix 1 tsp cornstarch with the reserved juice and stir into the pan; simmer a few minutes until lightly thickened, then cool thoroughly.
- Spoon cold compote over set chia pudding just before serving. Record coconut brand, chia set, orange juice yield and cup volume in a kitchen trial.
