Instructions

Infuse the Milk: In a small saucepan, gently warm the almond milk over medium heat until it is hot to the touch but not boiling. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped Medjool dates, 2 tablespoons of pistachios, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allow the mixture to steep for 15 minutes to soften the dates and infuse the flavors.
Blend and Combine: Pour the warm milk mixture into a high-speed blender. Add the vanilla extract and sea salt. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. Transfer the blended liquid to a medium bowl and whisk in the chia seeds until they are fully incorporated.
Chill and Serve: Let the pudding rest for 5-10 minutes, then give it one final stir to break up any clumps. Divide the mixture among four small jars or bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick and set. To serve, top with a sprinkle of coarsely chopped pistachios and fresh berries.
