Serves 2 | Dairy free | Gluten-free | 590 calories
Ingredients
400ml can coconut milk
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp ground nutmeg
Juice of 1 large lemon
225g blueberries
3 tbsp pecan nuts, roughly chopped
Method
1. With a food processor or hand blender, blitz the coconut milk, chia, vanilla and nutmeg for about 1 minute or until you have a smooth creamy mixture. Add the lemon juice and blueberries and pulse briefly – you want to retain some texture.
2. Spoon the mixture into pots or bowls and leave it to thicken in the fridge overnight or for at least 30 minutes.
3. When you are ready to eat it, scatter the pecans on top.
Tip: this also makes a great pudding – divide it into 4 portions and halve the calorie count.
