Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to ensure no clumps form and all ingredients are well integrated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- After the pudding has set, gently stir to break up any potential clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Prepare the fruit layers by washing and chopping strawberries into small, uniform pieces.
- In clear glass serving containers or mason jars, create layered presentations by first adding a layer of blueberries at the bottom.
- Carefully spoon the chilled chia pudding over the blueberries, filling approximately one-third of the container.
- Add a layer of chopped strawberries on top of the chia pudding layer.
- Optional: Garnish the top with a dollop of whipped cream for added richness and visual appeal.
- Chill the assembled puddings for an additional 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Serve cold and enjoy your patriotic-themed Red White Blue Chia Puddings!
Tips
- Whisk thoroughly when mixing chia seeds to prevent clumping - smooth texture is key!
- Always refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the perfect consistency.
- Use clear glass containers to showcase the beautiful layers and create an Instagram-worthy dessert.
- For best results, use fresh, ripe berries to maximize flavor and visual impact.
- If you want a thicker pudding, add a few extra chia seeds or reduce the almond milk slightly.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut or oat milk for unique flavor profiles.
- Make these puddings ahead of time - they're perfect for meal prep and keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
