About
This chai infused chia custard is rich, creamy and sweet. Completely dairy free, the custard is thickened with chia and suitable for vegans. Perfect chilled and poured over a portion of low carb fruits, such as mixed berries or drizzled over some keto granola.
For the best results, the chia requires blending in a powerful blender or vitamix. This will still work in a standard blender however the texture will be ever so slightly grainy.
Ingredients
- 1 3 cloves spices whole cloves
- 3 tablespoon, whole pieces chia seeds
- 1 2 pods cardamom pods whole
- 1 ¾ cup almond milk, plain or original, unsweetened
- 1 1 stick cinnamon stick whole

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the chia seeds to a blender with 1 cup of almond milk. Blend until completely smooth.
- Add the remaining milk to a small pan with the ginger, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla and xylitol. Turn the heat to low/medium and bring the milk to a simmer to warm through (do not boil).
- Add the blended chia mixture to the pan of milk and whisk through to combine, simmering gently until slightly thickened.
- Remove the milk from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
