(5 from 6 votes)A few years ago when I first made this pudding, I attended a gathering of people that had several dietary restrictions, including diabetes, celiac, vegans, and no oil. My older sister who also attended could not believe that it was sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and oil-free. She said “In other words, it’s imaginary!” This pudding has been called Imaginary Pudding ever since, in honor of my sister who passed away recently.
New to FOK here…As a diabetic, any way to get that 21 grams of sugar down? This looks too good to not try!
Ive been plant based by my primary Dr since February. He diet combined w/ 1hr of ultra workouts achieved morning, ive dropped 70 lbs , gone from a sz 16 to a sz 8. Im currently doing resistance training to build muscle. I had to do this due to vascular issues . I love being plant based , I feel better at 72 than I did at 22.
Can I use regular vanilla instead of alcohol free?
Yes!
Can I sub flax seed for the chia? Thank you.
Hi Margaret, We have not tested this substitution. While both chia seeds and flax seeds can be used to thicken, flax has a more robust, nutty flavor than chia, so that will affect the taste. But feel free to try if you're moved to!
Sounds delicious. I can’t wait to try this recipe
I would love to make this recipe but can’t have the seeds. May I make it without them or do I need to substitute something else. No seeds please!
Makes a great Ninja Creamy ice cream if you freeze it. I usually like to pour a little date syrup over it if you don’t mind the added calories. Ron
Oh dear God. This sounds YUMMY!
Fantastic. I ate some it right away and want to eat it every day. I'm very fat-sensitive so I made it a bit lower fat by subbing 1 Tb of cornstarch per Tb of chia seeds (did 1/2 and 1/2 to still enjoy some chia seeds). Didn't have pumpkin spice blend, so did a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
Mañana mismo la hago, se ve rica, nutritiva y fácil. Gracias.
