Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat based on preference)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (optional: honey, maple syrup, or preferred natural sweetener)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out cottage cheese, chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, and any optional sweeteners you wish to use.
  2. Combine the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture for consistent texture.
  4. Chill the Pudding: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken the pudding.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Stir the pudding before serving and add desired toppings or garnishes such as fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for extra creaminess and richness.
  • Let the pudding soak overnight for the best texture and flavor melding.
  • Stir the chia seeds a few times during the first hour to prevent clumping.
  • Use real vanilla extract instead of imitation for a better flavor.
  • Add crunchy toppings like nuts or seeds just before serving to maintain texture.
