Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 3–4 tablespoons chia seeds (about 40 g)
- 200 ml almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Strawberry Compote
- 150 g strawberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
For Serving
- Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chia pudding: In a large bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract if using. Stir well with a spoon to mix thoroughly.
- Refrigerate the pudding: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture to a pudding-like texture.
- Make the strawberry compote: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the strawberries and maple syrup. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mash the strawberries: Use a fork or potato masher to crush the strawberries into a chunky purée while cooking to your desired consistency.
- Cool the compote: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool completely in the refrigerator before assembling the dessert.
- Assemble the pudding: Take small serving jars or glasses and layer a spoonful of strawberry compote at the bottom, followed by a layer of chia pudding, and finish with fresh strawberries on top if desired.
- Serve chilled: Enjoy the chia pudding well chilled as a refreshing and nutritious treat.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk such as oat, soy, or coconut milk.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
- The chia pudding thickens more the longer it rests, so overnight refrigeration is ideal.
- Fresh fruit toppings like sliced strawberries or berries enhance the texture and flavor.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
