Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Liquid Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup almond milk or coconut milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Purée fresh raspberries with milk, maple syrup, and vanilla in a blender until creating a silky, vibrant crimson mixture.
- Transfer the liquid to a mixing bowl and gradually incorporate chia seeds, stirring vigorously to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for minimum 60 minutes, allowing chia seeds to absorb liquid and transform into a gelatinous pudding consistency.
- After chilling, gently stir the pudding to break up any potential settled seeds and create a uniform texture.
- Garnish with additional fresh raspberries, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator, enjoying the cool, creamy texture and nutritious profile of this refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like almond, coconut, or oat milk to suit dietary preferences or add unique taste profiles.
- For a thicker pudding, use a higher ratio of chia seeds or let it set longer in the refrigerator.
- Create texture variety by adding crunchy toppings like chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes for an extra dimension of enjoyment.
