Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Pour almond milk into the cream cheese mixture and continue whisking until the ingredients are completely blended and create a creamy consistency.
- Add chia seeds to the mixture and stir thoroughly, making sure the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.
- After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to break up any settled chia seeds and ensure a uniform texture.
- Wash and chop fresh strawberries into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Divide the chilled chia pudding into two serving glasses or bowls.
- Top each serving with freshly chopped strawberries, distributing them evenly.
- Optional: Garnish with a small mint leaf or a sprinkle of additional erythritol for extra sweetness.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your keto-friendly dessert immediately.
Tips
- Choose the Right Sweetener: While erythritol works wonderfully, feel free to substitute with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or monk fruit to suit your taste.
- Soften Your Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth and creamy texture. You can microwave it for a few seconds if you're short on time.
- Let It Chill: For the best results, allow the chia pudding to chill overnight. This not only enhances the flavors but also gives the pudding a perfect, thick consistency.
- Experiment with Toppings: While strawberries are delicious, don’t hesitate to get creative! Try adding a sprinkle of crushed nuts, a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and flavor.
- Store Leftovers Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just give it a good stir before serving again!
- Make It a Meal: This chia pudding isn’t just for dessert! Enjoy it as a nutritious breakfast or a satisfying snack throughout the day.
