Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Base: Mash fresh raspberries with a fork until juicy but still textured to create a vibrant fruit layer that infuses the pudding with natural sweetness and color.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, combine your choice of milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add Chia Seeds: Pour chia seeds into the wet mixture and stir thoroughly to prevent clumping, ensuring even distribution of the seeds.
  4. Layer or Mix in the Raspberries: Swirl the mashed raspberries into the pudding mixture or layer them at the bottom for presentation; both methods deliver delicious fruity bursts.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding consistency.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Stir gently before serving. Optionally, top with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or desired garnishes for an enhanced experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Stir chia seeds well to prevent clumping.
  • Adjust maple syrup amount to your desired sweetness.
  • Allow pudding to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal texture.
  • Try different milk types to vary creaminess and flavor.
  • This pudding is vegan if plant-based milk and pure maple syrup are used.
  • Substitute maple syrup with honey, agave, or other sweeteners if preferred.
  • Frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained properly.
  • Do not freeze pudding as texture may become mushy upon thawing.
