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: dollop of yogurt and a few coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix the liquid ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined to build the flavorful base of the pudding.
  2. Add chia seeds and prevent clumping: Slowly stir in the chia seeds to the liquid mixture while whisking continuously for about a minute. This helps distribute the chia seeds evenly and prevents clumping, ensuring a smooth pudding texture.
  3. Refrigerate to thicken: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. During this time, the chia seeds absorb the liquid, forming a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve and garnish: When ready to eat, give the pudding a good stir to distribute any settled seeds, then spoon it into serving glasses or jars. Top with a dollop of yogurt if desired, add dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, and optionally garnish with a few coffee beans for an elegant presentation. Enjoy chilled for a satisfying breakfast or a refreshing afternoon snack.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as oat, soy, or dairy milk.
  • Adjust the amount of brewed coffee based on your desired coffee intensity.
  • Make the pudding ahead of time for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Add fresh fruit or nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.
