2 tbsp vanilla extract
4 tsp honey, preferably raw, to taste

Recipe tips
Method
Blend the crème fraîche with the chia seeds, vanilla extract, honey, raspberries (reserving a handful of the raspberries for the garnish) and salt until smooth and well combined. Add the stevia, taking care to taste after each drop as stevia is very sweet.
Chill the chia mixture in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
To serve, divide the chia pudding equally among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with the reserved raspberries, toasted nuts and orange zest.
