Ingredients
Directions
Add all ingredients to a blender.
Blend for a minute or more (depending on the blender — a high-powered blender will pulverize the seeds quickly), until the seeds are fully pulverized and the pudding begins to thicken (it will thicken more as it refrigerates).
Taste, and if you’d like it sweeter, add a teaspoon or two more of coconut sugar or maple syrup (not too much maple syrup or it will become loose).
Transfer mixture to a large bowl/dish, and refrigerate until chilled, about ½ hour or more (it will thicken more with chilling, but really can be eaten straight away).
Serve, sprinkling with optional toppings if desired (see note).
Chef's Notes
Optional toppings
Dark chocolate shavings, vegan cookie crumbles, vegan whipped cream.
Milk
I typically use unsweetened almond milk (either plain or vanilla) when I make this pudding. If you are using sweetened vanilla milk, reduce the sweetener to taste.
Pumpkin
Canned pumpkin can really vary in terms of consistency. Some are thinner, others a little looser.
Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple syrup and coconut sugar.
Chia seeds
Black chia seeds can also be used; they will make the pudding a little darker, that’s all.
Kid-friendlier
I omit the ginger when making this pudding for the kiddos.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
