Cinnamon and Fruit Chia Pudding
I was always a big fan of tapioca pudding. Loved the texture, the taste, the richness. I still love contrasts. And this pudding is full of them. I wanted an extra rich pudding so I used cashew cream instead of milk. Topped off with fruit and a dash of cinnamon, it hits the spot! Experiment with different fruit, I know I will be!

I made it and I LOVE it!!!!!! Wow!! I was thinking of freezing some it may taste like ice cream! I am going to use soaked dates instead of the agave syrup because it is mainly fructose and not very good for the body. But dates are really good for you! Once again, thank you for this GREAT recipe!!!!!!!

Thanks Susan, I have just made this and it is delicious. I was looking for a recipe to use an abundance of fresh mulberries from my garden. ( I substituted the mulberries for the strawberries & blueberries.) I would like to experiment with some fresh coconut variations also.

Just made this. Surprisingly good, would definitely make it again and I see how it could accommodate different kinds of fruit.

This is so yummy and easy to make. I didn’t have blueberries or strawberries, so I used goji berries and banana slices. The consistency is just like tapioca. Love it!

It keeps for two to four days, depending on your refrigerator, etc.
