My Chouchoux: Coconut-Banana Chia Pudding with Lime 香蕉椰奶奇亞籽布丁

For a while, I've been waiting to make this delicious-looking super creamy coconut banana chia pudding from Fedelicioso, and I finally have some ripened bananas on hand! I love anything with banana or coconut, and when I saw her recipe on Instagram, I just knew that I'd have to try it. The end result was indeed very creamy as she described!

Since I have some lime, and I know that coconut and lime go well together, too, I decided to make the flavour slightly different here. Also, in her original recipe, she blended all the bananas with coconut milk, and garnished with more banana slices on top. Here, I made some mashed bananas (but left them slightly chunky) and added them in between the creamy, banana-y pudding layers instead. Do check out her blog - Fedelicioso and her Instagram for many more delicious ideas. Thank you so much, Federica, for this inspiring and delicious recipe! It just might become one of my favourite vegan breakfasts and desserts!!

Coconut-Banana Chia Pudding with Lime (about 4 servings)

A: 1 can   whole fat coconut milk
2 large ripe bananas
    2 T coconut water or spring water
    juice of 1 lime
    zest of 1 lime
    2 t       maple syrup

6 T chia seeds

B: 2 ripe bananas, broken into large pices
    1 t     lime juice

C: 1/3 C   toasted coconut
    zest of lime

*T = tbsp, t = tsp, C = cup

1. Blend together ingredients A until smooth, then add the chia seeds and use a whisk to mix well. Transfer the mixture into a large glass jar or container. Cover and let it sit in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

2. Before serving, use a fork to press ingredients B together in a bowl until the texture is to your liking, *I left mine slightly chunky.

3. In 4 serving jars or cups, spoon in some mashed bananas, pour in some chia pudding to fill the jar about half way, then repeat both steps to fill up the jar. Garnish with ingredients C on the top. *You can store the jars with closed lids and keep them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

我一向就喜愛任何有香蕉或椰子口味的食物，自從上星期在Fedelisioso的Instagram上看到她的香蕉椰奶奇亞籽布丁食譜之後就ㄧ直想做來吃，好不容易等到這幾天香蕉熟了，終於可以做來嚐試!（≧∇≦）原來的食譜是添加了香草的口味，我剛好有一些青檸檬，想說青檸檬加椰子也很搭，就稍微在口味上做了一點改變。除此之外，原來的食譜是將三條香蕉與椰漿打細，我在這裡是使用更多的香蕉壓成塊狀的泥，與打細的香蕉椰奶一起吃，感覺吃起來比較有不同的質感。請大家到Fedelisioso的部落格與Instagram看她更多好吃的食譜，也感謝Federica讓我分享這個好吃的食譜，這可能是我目前最愛吃的早餐與甜點食譜！
