Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (optional, for creaminess)
- Fresh fruit (such as berries or banana slices, for topping)
- Chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts, for topping)
- Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid and begin to swell.
- After 5 minutes, whisk the mixture again to break up any clumps of chia seeds that may have formed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pudding to chill and thicken for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- If using coconut cream, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight to allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
- The next day, open the can and scoop out the solidified coconut cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind.
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the coconut cream until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Optionally, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Once the chia pudding has thickened, remove it from the refrigerator and stir to ensure an even consistency.
- In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding and whipped coconut cream, starting with a layer of chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of coconut cream, and repeat until the glasses are filled.
- Top each serving with fresh fruit, such as berries or banana slices.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added crunch and nutrition.
- Optionally, add a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
