Why This Recipe Works

This recipe works because chia seeds absorb the milk and make a pudding without cooking. Blueberries add natural sweetness and color. The graham cracker crust holds the filling and gives a crunchy base. The mix of milk, sweetener, and vanilla helps the chia set and taste good.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

Equipments Needed

• Pie dish (9-inch)
• Spoon or spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Refrigerator

Step-by-Step Instructions :

1. In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well and let it sit for about 15 minutes to thicken.
2. In another bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust.
3. Pour the blueberry chia seed mixture into the crust and spread it evenly.

How to serve No-Bake Blueberry Chia Seed Pie

Serve chilled. Cut into slices and place on plates. Add extra fresh blueberries or a small dollop of yogurt or whipped cream if you like. A sprig of mint makes a nice touch.

How to store No-Bake Blueberry Chia Seed Pie

Cover the pie with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. If it sits longer, the crust may soften. You can also freeze slices in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge before serving.
