Instructions

  2. Place the beaten egg into a small bowl. Add the lemon syrup to the bowl, whisking constantly for 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan.
  3. Heat saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to lightly bubble. Remove from heat and divide the lemon curd into two small bowls. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours. (It will congeal as it cools).
  4. To make the chia pudding, mix together the almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  5. When ready to serve, stir the chia pudding to remove any clumps, then divide evenly into the bowls with the lemon curd. Top with your favourite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
*More sugar will make the curd sweeter and slightly thicker, less will keep it thinner and less sweet.
