Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- ½ cup plant-based milk (soy, almond, or oat milk; approx. 120ml)
- 1 cup plain, thick dairy-free Greek-style yogurt (approx. 227g)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste; 1 tbsp = approx. 21g)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 shot espresso or 1 tsp instant espresso mixed with 2 tbsp hot water (approx. 30ml)
- ½ cup chia seeds (approx. 85g)
Topping
- ⅓ tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting; approx. 2g)
- Raspberries, fresh or frozen (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, dairy-free Greek-style yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and espresso until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Rest and Whisk Again: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid, then whisk again thoroughly to break up any chia seed clumps and ensure even distribution.
- Portion and Refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly into four small jars or containers. Cover them securely and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and develop its flavors.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and add fresh or frozen raspberries if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use any plant-based milk that suits your preference; soy milk provides more protein, while oat milk offers a creamier texture.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your desired sweetness level.
- If espresso is not available, instant espresso dissolved in hot water works as a great substitute.
- To make this recipe nut-free, avoid almond milk and opt for oat or soy milk.
- For a thicker pudding, let it set overnight rather than just 3 hours.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
