Overnight Coconut Guava Basil Seed Pudding

CHEF's TIP!

• Basil seeds are black, tear-shaped seeds that, like chia seeds, have a gelatinous outer layer when wet. Also called Sabja seeds, they are the seed of the sweet basil plant native to India. Basil seeds absorb and take on accompanying flavours and provide texture and body without adding oils or fats, making them a great addition to smoothies, sauces, and dips. They can be purchased from specialty and natural food stores as well from many online retailers
• Basil seeds will re-hydrate in as little as 20 minutes. To enjoy the same day instead of prepping for an overnight dish, allow seeds to soak in coconut milk at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
