With the ongoing snow storms and the constant grey skies, I am dreaming of an exotic dessert that gives me those island vibes. Fortunately you have access to certain exotic fruits all year long and you can try to recreate some items (to a certain extent) to make you forget the winter blues.


With this being said, a refreshing fruity healthy dessert was on my mind: a chia pudding with an exotic fruity base. Sounds fancy right? But trust me, it is a very easy process. Follow along!


Note: The chia pudding requires a few hours of refrigeration (or overnight) to form a gel-ish texture. So make it ahead, as the puree can be done and served immediately. However for efficiency you can also prepare the puree ahead of time.

For the Chia Pudding
