Ingredients
Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
- 4 cups rhubarb, diced
- 4 cups strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup Truvia baking blend
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dash of salt
Chia Pudding
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Jordan's Skinny Salted Caramel Syrup (or sugar-free sweetener of choice)
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce: In a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium-low heat, combine diced rhubarb, diced strawberries, and 1/2 cup of Truvia baking blend.
- Simmer Fruit Mixture: Bring to a gentle low boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15 minutes until the fruit softens and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish Sauce: Remove the pan from heat, add a dash of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then transfer the sauce to a storage container and allow it to cool. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and chia seeds thoroughly, making sure to break up any clumps, then stir in the salted caramel syrup or your preferred sugar-free sweetener.
- Assemble the Pudding: Place 1/4 cup of the cooled strawberry rhubarb sauce into the bottom of a parfait dish, then top it with 1/3 cup of the coconut chia mixture.
- Chill: Cover the parfait dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 12 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and the pudding to set.
- Serve: Enjoy the chia pudding chilled as a refreshing breakfast or dessert.
Notes
- Ensure to whisk the chia seeds well to prevent clumping in the pudding.
- You can use any sugar-free sweetener in place of Truvia or the salted caramel syrup according to your preference.
- Store the sauce and pudding separately if preparing ahead, to maintain texture.
- The pudding should be refrigerated for at least 4 hours but can be kept up to 12 hours for best texture.
- Experiment with other fruit combinations if desired, such as blueberry or peach with rhubarb.
