Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
Raspberry Layer
- ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Garnish
- Fresh raspberries (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (maple syrup or honey) until well combined and the chia seeds are evenly dispersed.
- Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir once after 30 minutes to prevent the chia seeds from clumping and to ensure a smooth pudding texture.
- Prepare Raspberry Layer: Mash the raspberries with a fork or blend them lightly to create a smooth or slightly chunky texture depending on your preference.
- Assemble and Serve: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding and mashed raspberries. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
- You can substitute almond milk with other plant-based or dairy milk according to dietary needs.
- Overnight chilling helps the chia seeds absorb the liquid fully, creating a gel-like consistency.
- For a smoother pudding, blend the chia mixture briefly after chilling before layering.
- Fresh raspberries are preferred for garnish to add a burst of freshness and color.
