Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Toppings
- Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs for topping
- Optional: a dollop of yogurt
- Optional: a few coffee beans for garnish
Instructions
- Mix liquids and sweeteners: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined thoroughly.
- Add chia seeds: Slowly stir in the chia seeds, then whisk the mixture continuously for about one minute to prevent clumping.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the mixture to thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve and garnish: Stir the pudding well before serving. Spoon it into glasses or jars, and garnish with a dollop of yogurt if desired, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs on top, and a few coffee beans for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- The pudding thickens best when chilled overnight.
- You can substitute almond milk for any milk of choice such as oat, soy, or dairy milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to taste.
- For a vegan option, ensure your sweetener (maple syrup) is plant-based.
- The brewed coffee should be strong and cooled to avoid curdling the milk.
- Add cinnamon according to your preference for extra warmth and flavor.
- Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
