I wanted to try out some chia pudding, and we also had some cashew milk I wanted to use up, so I decided to make a chia pudding with cashew milk. We also had some pecans around, and I do like Pecan Pie, so why not make something similar? Sounds like a good idea to me! Just mix together most of the ingredients, place the mixture into your serving container, and spoon some of the sweet pecan mixture on top. We refrigerated and enjoyed these pecan pie chia puddings the next day to really let the chia seeds hydrate. Enjoy!
Do you prefer dairy milk or nut milks?

I've just started eating chia seeds so looking for some recipes. This is a perfect one to try especially as a dessert. Thanks for sharing with us at #AnythingGoes.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I wasn't so sure before I tried it since chia seeds are healthy, and healthy desserts aren't usually the best. This pecan chia pudding was definitely one we enjoyed though - relatively healthy and not too sweet. :)
DeleteThis sounds delicious - we are intolerant to dairy milk and have tried various alternative milks over the years! Our current favourite is oat milk but I think hazelnut milk would be perfect in this. Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried hazelnut milk, but I think it would be wonderful here!
DeleteI hear so much about the health benefits of chia. Brilliant to work them into a dessert recipe.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when you can combine the two? :)
DeleteI hopped over from Homestead Blog Hop to see your Pecan Chia Pudding recipe. As someone who loves to make and eat chia pudding, your recipe was very appealing. I have not made this recipe so I look forward to trying it soon. I'm sharing this too.
ReplyDeleteyay! I hope you enjoy it. :) Let me know what you think!
DeleteThis looks absolutely delicious, and I love how healthy it is, CJ. I must admit, I prefer dairy milks, but I'd definitely enjoy nut milk in this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Take care and have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteDairy milks definitely have a different flavor, but you could use it here too. Thanks for hosting weekly!
