Chia Banoffee Pie

Want a gooey sumptuous desert?  This chia pudding is the answer and it is  relatively healthy too!


Ingredients

Chia pudding - 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1 cup plant milk (almond or coconut are good), tbsp maple syrup. 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Caramel Sauce - 2 tbsp coconut oil, 3 tbsp maple syrup. 2 tbsp tahini, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Yoghurt of choice or cashew cream, 1 banana sliced. 

Method 

Made the chia pudding ahead of time, I prefer to make it the night before so that it is very thick.
Melt the coconut oil add the maple syrup and tahini with the vanilla stir and leave to cool.
In a glass put a layer of chia pudding, then yogurt or cream, than spoon on the caramel, add some sliced banana and there you have it - ambrosia!

Notes 

- The caramel sauce is also delicious spooned over fruit and coconut rice.

- Maple syrup can be expensive, I think you could get good results  with golden syrup or by making your own caramel, but then you would have that special smokey flavour, lol.

- You can lessen the amount of coconut oil if you find it too rich. Please note that the coconut oil causes the caramel to harden in the fridge, but softens again once out of the fridge.
