Not kidding, I still dream about the pistachio desserts I had in Italy. Particularly the gelato and croissants. This pistachio chia pudding (blended) is inspired by all of the pistachio treats I had in Italy. No, chia seed pudding does not compare to gelato, but it is an easy way to satisfy that pistachio craving.
This chia seed pudding is blended so it gets rid of the bumpy texture. I for one love the texture of chia pudding but some people don't and that is okay. This chia seed pudding has that unique and rich pistachio taste and is so good. I am obsessed.
