Ingredients
  

Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups creamy oatly plant milk *
  • ½ cup chia seeds **
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp shredded coconut
Banana Nice Cream
  • 3 frozen bananas or more, depends how much banana mixture you want!
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • plant milk enough just to get the bananas to mix properly
  • pinch of turmeric for colour, optional
Toppings
  • coconut chips
  • banana slices
  • puffed quinoa
  • granola optional, to add crunch and to be the 'pie crust'

Method
 

  1. Mix all of the chia pudding ingredients together until the chia seeds are fully combined with the liquid. Then let the seeds swell in the fridge for about 3-4 hours minimum.
  2. Once the chia pudding is ready, mix the banana nice cream ingredients together in a high speed blender. Scoop the banana nice cream on to chia pudding in serving cups. Sprinkle the toppings over the pudding and banana nice cream and enjoy! :)

Notes

*I used oatly's creamy oat for this recipe with 13% fat, but you can use any neutral plant milk for this recipe, or coconut milk. It's best to choose one with a higher fat percentage for this recipe to achieve that thick banana cream pie texture, but you can use low fat plant milk if you prefer. 
**I find 1/2 cup chia seeds to be best for this recipe if you wait about 3-4 hours, but if you let the pudding sit overnight it gets more thick so then you can just add a splash of plant milk in the morning before enjoying to make it less thick again (if you want of course!). It depends how firm you like your pudding to be.
