Cooking steps for Chia Pudding

  1. 1
    Chia pudding is probably one of the most delicious and healthy desserts that have become so popular, mainly because of its simplicity and numerous health benefits.
  2. 2
    This pudding is made from wholesome ingredients and contains many benefits of fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, which makes it perfect for snacking or a tasty breakfast.
  3. 3
    A twist on traditional pudding can be found in the unique texture of the chia seeds, which swell and become gelatinous once mixed with a liquid. Let's get into the preparation for this wonderful pudding. You may easily do it as you please.
  4. 4
    To begin with, collect your ingredients: 500 ml of unsweetened almond milk and 60 gms of chia seeds. Pour the almond milk into a medium bowl, let its creamy texture allow you to delight in your pudding a little better, and then add the chia seeds to the milk.
  5. 5
    These tiny seeds are the stars of the show; they will soak up all that almond milk and expand into a thicker, satisfying pudding. Mix the mixture well with a whisk or spoon to distribute the chia seed evenly in the almond milk. The more you mix this initially, the less likely these seeds are to clump together, thus producing an uneven texture in the final product.
  6. 6
    Once the chia seeds and almond milk have combined well, it's time to add some sweetness. Mix in 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. The decision between using honey and maple syrup opens some personal taste options; honey has a floral sweetness, while maple syrup offers a deeper, almost caramel taste.
  7. 7
    Taste and adjust to your sweetening preference. Stir the mixture again, making sure to include the sweetener that will surely increase the flavour of the pudding.
  8. 8
    But for something a bit more special, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to it. What this does is give the pudding a delicious, warm, inviting smell and allow the nutty taste of almond milk to come out; there is this perfect blend between the sweetener and vanilla that builds to form a Chia pudding so very delightful. Mix all the contents so that the vanilla can be perfectly mixed throughout.
  9. 9
    Once you have mixed all the ingredients, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. This is important because it makes the mixture sit in the refrigerator airtight as it gets thick. It should be left in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. 10
    This chilling period allows the chia seeds to completely absorb almond milk, expanding and thickening it into a creamy pudding consistency. The longer it sits there, the better the texture will be since the seeds will fully swell and give you that characteristic pudding-like mouthfeel.
  11. 11
    Once you set it, you serve pudding. Take out the bowl from the refrigerator and stir the mixture quite well to break any clumps that may have been formed during this time in the refrigerator. That produces a very creamy and smooth texture that is pleasing.
  12. 12
    Now, you can present your almond milk chia pudding. Spoon the pudding into individual bowls or glasses, creating a delicious layered effect. This dish can be topped with many ingredients to enhance flavour and texture. Fresh fruits such as berries, bananas, or mango slices add their natural sweetness and bursts of colour.
  13. 13
    Nuts are perfect in it, like almonds and walnuts. Granola adds extra texture and flavour. Feel free to create your toppings since that is when the chia pudding can become truly personal for you.
  14. 14
    This recipe of chia pudding is one flexible dish that can be prepared quite easily and packed with a lot of health benefits. This pudding makes for a great dessert, an excellent snack, or even a tasty breakfast.
