Cinnamon and Fruit Chia Pudding
I was always a big fan of tapioca pudding. Loved the texture, the taste, the richness. I still love contrasts. And this pudding is full of them. I wanted an extra rich pudding so I used cashew cream instead of milk. Topped off with fruit and a dash of cinnamon, it hits the spot! Experiment with different fruit, I know I will be!

I bet that combination of chia and cashew cream is heavenly! I already love chia pudding, so I know this would be on my “total yum” list. 😉

Susan, I just made this and had to stop myself from eating the whole thing! Delish and a keeper, as are all of your recipes I’ve tried! So simple and so yummy.

AWESOMESAUCE!! I used maple syrup instead of agave (it’s cheaper in Canada than agave). DELICIOUSNESS in a bowl.

Your chia seeds look big like tapioca pearls in the photo!
Mine are tiny, the size of instant tapioca.
Where do you find such large chia seeds?
A feast is in store as soon as I find some ! ! !

Irene: They are normal sized chia seeds. The trick is using the cashew cream and the proportions in the recipe. Makes a nice big, thick pudding.

Mmmm, I also love tapioca and think it’s awesome how much chai seeds seem to mimick that texture. This would be a great substitute for oatmeal on warm days!
