Lemon Curd Chia Pudding

Vegan Lemon Curd Chia Pudding is a creamy, delicious pudding. It is created with a combination of the taste of lemons & coconut richness. The dessert seems light but filling since each spoonful strikes a balance between sweet and acidic flavors. The chia seeds give it a naturally thick texture in addition to adding fiber, protein, and healthy fats, making it tasty & nutritious. A dash of turmeric enhances the pudding’s golden hue, which also gives it a lemony appearance without changing its flavor. You may garnish vegan Lemon Curd Chia Pudding with vegan yogurt, toasted coconut, or fresh berries for added taste and contrast.
