Description
A delightful treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries with the creamy texture of chia pudding, perfect for breakfast or a light dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens.
- While the chia pudding is chilling, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside some slices for topping the pudding later.
- Once the chia pudding has thickened, take it out of the refrigerator. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding and sliced strawberries. Start with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of strawberries, and repeat until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of chia pudding on top.
- Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Finally, sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the whipped cream to add a delightful crunch.
Notes
- Store any leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a creamier texture, blend the almond milk and chia seeds together before letting it sit.
- This pudding can be made vegan by using plant-based milk and sweeteners.
- Ensure your graham crackers are certified gluten-free for a gluten-free option.
