Description
A smooth, creamy No-Bake Blueberry Chia Seed Pie, bursting with sweet, tangy flavors of fresh blueberries, perfect for a quick treat or healthy dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk (or any non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey for a non-vegan alternative)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup walnuts (or any nuts for the crust)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start off by making the crust. In a food processor, combine the walnuts and a pinch of salt. Pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the melted coconut oil to the crumbs and pulse until everything sticks together. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish to form an even crust.
- Next, prepare the blueberry filling. In a blender, add the fresh blueberries, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and chia seeds. Blend until smooth. You might want to leave some blueberry chunks for added texture.
- Pour this delightful mixture over your prepared crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Tap the pie dish gently on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. Allow it to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, letting the chia seeds expand and thicken the filling into a creamy texture.
- Once set, remove the pie from the fridge. Top it with additional fresh blueberries and garnish with mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor just before serving.
Notes
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For freezing, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.
