Chia pudding is almost an everyday recipe in 2023. We certainly didn’t create this recipe, but we have added a touch of Billabong for your enjoyment.
Apart from tasting great, there’s a story. On a hot summer afternoon, one of our kitchen team was unpacking fruit as a storm rolled in. From the heavy air, the citrus scent, and the terracotta and dark colours of the eucalypts came that evening’s dessert.
