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

  1. Mix liquids and sweeteners: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined thoroughly.
  2. Add chia seeds: Slowly stir in the chia seeds, then whisk the mixture continuously for about one minute to prevent clumping.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
