Chia Cake with Figs and Blueberries
No Bake Dessert
Make this blueberry and fig chia pudding cake, when you want an easy no bake dessert that looks amazing and tastes delicious.
Fresh figs and blueberries are a perfect topping for the chia cake, but you can easily substitute another type of fruit that is in season.
This Summer we happen to have a lot of figs, which is a very good thing.
It is also really hot, so I love that this is a no bake dessert.
There is no reason to make my kitchen any hotter by starting up the oven.
Yes, this is a sweet dessert.
However, there are also good, wholesome ingredients added in.
There are nutritious chia seeds, nuts and dates in addition to the fresh fruit.
This is dessert, but it isn’t junk food.
The layered dessert is made in a springform pan, so is similar to a no bake cheesecake.
On the bottom is a crunchy, crumbly date and walnut crust.
Then the next layer is a tasty chia pudding made with sweetened condensed milk and ricotta cheese.
Finally, on top are succulent figs and blueberries.
Enjoy!
