Zespri Chia Oat Puddings

Method

1. Pour coconut milk and water into a large jug or bowl. Add honey and stir. Pour in chia seeds and oats, and stir well. Set aside for 10 minutes, then stir again. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, to allow chia seeds and oats to soften and mixture to thicken.
2. Cut off the tops from two Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit. Cut each into 1cm thick slices. Use a 4cm star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out a star from 8 slices, reserving off cuts. Set stars aside on a plate.
3. Remove skin from offcuts if desired, or leave it on – it’s absolutely safe, healthy and yummy to eat. Finely dice the offcuts and remaining Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit, then set aside in a bowl.
4. Spoon half of the chia mixture into 4 serving cups or glasses. Press two stars onto the side of each glass, using the chia mixture to help hold them in place. Top with half of the diced Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit, followed by the remaining chia mixture, and remaining diced Kiwifruit, then serve.

ZESPRI™ TIP: These puddings can be made ahead of time, assembled in glasses the night before. Be sure to cover each with a little plastic wrap so they don’t dry out or take on the smells of the fridge!
