Make the Raspberry Puree
- Combine 2 cups raspberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing with a spatula to extract all the liquid. Discard the seeds. You should have about 1 cup of vibrant puree.
Mix the Pudding
- To the bowl with raspberry puree, add chia seeds, almond milk, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds to break up any clumps. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again - this second whisking prevents the seeds from clumping together as they start to absorb liquid.
- Divide the mixture evenly among four 8-ounce mason jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The pudding is ready when the chia seeds have plumped and the mixture is thick enough that a spoon stands up straight.
Serve
- Stir each pudding before serving - it will have set quite firm. Top with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of extra coconut milk, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if desired. The pudding keeps refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
For the creamiest texture, use full-fat coconut milk from the can - the light versions make a thinner pudding. If your berries are tart, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup. The pudding thickens significantly as it chills; if it sets too firm, simply stir in a splash of milk to loosen it before serving.
