This experiment was a recipe that my sister-in-law posted on facebook. I had never worked with chia seeds (unless you count that chia pet dog I had in the 70's) and I certainly had never eaten any. But the list of other ingredients was intriguing. Toasted coconut, fresh blueberries, pistachios. Yummmm. So I made up a batch and stuck in the fridge, just as directed. When the required 6 hours had passed, I doled some into a little dessert dish (see above) and sprinkled blueberries and toasted coconut on top. The results were good, but not stellar. I was disappointed. It was not a scrumption.
Well, I have my best ideas right before I wake up in the morning. As it happened, I woke up with the realization that I had forgotten the pistachios! The next time I doled some of this super chia pudding into a dessert dish, I topped it with toasted coconut, fresh blueberries, and pistachios. Suddenly an 'eh' pudding became irresistible! After I finished the little dessert dish, I moved onto the main dish and ate another cup full. It has the stamp of approval of my 17-year-old son, too. Yummm. After that batch was entirely consumed, I made another. And another.
A scrumption was found!
