Ingredients
For Chia Yogurt

- 1/2 tsp Fair Trade vanilla extract can omit if milk has vanilla flavor
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup can omit if milk has sweetener
- 4 Tbsp chia seeds
Caramelized Persimmons

Instructions
Chia Yogurt
- Add milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and chia seeds to a bowl. Whisk hard for 30 seconds. Wait 5-10 minutes and whisk again.
- Cover and place mixture in fridge to set for at least two hours. The mixture will be thick and gelatinous when ready.
Caramelized Persimmons
- Add persimmon pieces to a small pot with water and maple syrup. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until water is boiled off, approximately 10 minutes. The persimmons will soften slightly, but will probably not become fully soft.
- Let persimmons cool and add to top of chia yogurt with any other toppings you like.
