Description
A delightful and healthy treat, Cheesecake Chia Pudding combines the creamy flavors of cheesecake with the nutritious benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh berries or fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to swell and thicken the mixture.
- Once the pudding has thickened, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve in individual bowls or jars, topped with fresh berries or your choice of fruit.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mixture before refrigerating.
- Substitute the almond milk with coconut milk for a creamier texture and a hint of tropical flavor.
