I remeber visiting Vermont last fall, the vibrant foliage, the crisp air, and the overwhelming aroma of maple syrup everywhere. It was intoxicating! Inspired by that trip, I wanted to capture the essence of autumn in a glass. That's how this Maple Pecan Comfort Lassi came to life. Its more than just a drink; it's a cozy experience.
This lassi combines the traditional cooling properties of yogurt with the rich, sweet flavors of maple syrup and the satisfying crunch of pecans. It’s a delightful twist on the classic Indian drink, perfect for a quick breakfast, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or even a light dessert. Imagine sipping on this creamy concoction while curled up with a good book on a chilly evening...bliss! It's a easy to whip up, and you probably have most of the ingrediants already. Dont worry if you dont have pecans; walnuts work just as great!
I love experimenting with flavors and textures, and this lassi is a testament to that. The slight tanginess of the yogurt balances perfectly with the sweetness of the maple syrup, while the pecans add a wonderful nutty depth and crunch. The touch of cinnamon enhances the warmth and aroma. Give it a try and let me know what you think! You might even add a dash of your own personal pizzaz! One time I was feeling crazy and added a splash of bourbon; its was actually pretty good. Dont judge until you try it!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Ensure you have all the necessary ingredients ready – yogurt, maple syrup, pecans, milk (or a non-dairy alternative), cinnamon, and any optional toppings.
- Toast the pecans (optional): For an enhanced nutty flavor, lightly toast the pecans. Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Be careful not to burn them! Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- Prepare the pecans: Once cooled, roughly chop the toasted pecans. If you prefer a smoother lassi, you can grind a portion of the pecans into a fine powder. I like keeping some bigger pieces for a nice bite!
- Combine ingredients in a blender: In a blender, combine the yogurt, maple syrup, chopped pecans (and pecan powder, if using), milk (or non-dairy alternative), and a pinch of cinnamon. You can also add a few ice cubes if you prefer a colder lassi.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on the power of your blender. Dont over blend; the heat from the motor can sometimes warm up the yogurt.
- Adjust consistency (if needed): If the lassi is too thick, add a little more milk (or non-dairy alternative) until it reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a tablespoon of yogurt at a time until it thickens up. I personally like mine thick enough to eat with a spoon!
- Taste and adjust sweetness: Give the lassi a taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup, if needed. Remember, maple syrup also adds flavor, so a little goes a long way.
- Pour into glasses: Pour the Maple Pecan Comfort Lassi into glasses. You can chill the glasses beforehand for an extra refreshing touch.
- Garnish (optional): Garnish the lassi with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of chopped pecans, and a dash of cinnamon. Get creative! You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a few pecan halves for a more decadent treat.
- Serve immediately: Serve the lassi immediately and enjoy! Its best when fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for a day or two, though the texture might change slightly.
📝 Notes
- For a vegan version, use non-dairy yogurt and milk alternatives.
- Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor but is optional.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference.
