Let’s dive in and learn how to make this healthy and delicious basil seed pudding, a gut-friendly alternative to chia pudding. 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen cherries (tart or sweet)
  • 1/2 teaspoon agar-agar
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (hemp milk, tigernut milk, or almond milk are great)
  • 1 teaspoon yacon syrup or local raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • zest from one organic orange
  • 2 tablespoons basil seeds
  • 1/4 cup roughly ground pistachios (chopped or crushed)
  • 2 tablespoons grated dark chocolate (or dark chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. If using frozen cherries, make the cherry jam. Bring the frozen cherries to a boil, simmer for about 10 minutes, add the agar-agar powder, and simmer for 5 more minutes. Let it cool.
  2. Combine the plant-based milk with the yacon syrup (or honey), vanilla, orange zest, and basil seeds. Stir well and let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. The basil seeds will absorb the liquid.
  3. In the meantime, grind the pistachios and grate the chocolate. 
  4. To layer the pudding in jars or cups, add cherries on the bottom, continue with pistachios, chocolate, and pudding, and repeat. Finish with a layer of crushed pistachios, cherry jam (or fresh cherries) and grated chocolate. Let the pudding settle in the fridge for a few hours before consuming it. You can let it settle overnight and serve it in the morning.  

Notes

Fresh cherries can also be used; in this case, pit and use them fresh, and skip the cooking and the agar-agar. If you want a bigger portion, you can double the basil seed pudding (use 4 tablespoons of seeds and 2 cups of liquid for 2 servings).
