Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Base
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
Thickening & Flavor
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Toppings
- Dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs for topping
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined. Gradually stir in the chia seeds while whisking to prevent clumps.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Stir the pudding before serving and spoon it into individual glasses or jars. Top with a dollop of yogurt if desired, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, and optionally add a few coffee beans for garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
- This pudding can be made with any type of milk according to dietary preference.
- Adjust sweetness by using more or less maple syrup or honey.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the brewed coffee amount slightly.
- The pudding thickens more overnight, so for best texture, prepare it the night before.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
