Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
  • 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
  • Optional: dollop of yogurt and coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix liquids and flavorings: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined, creating a smooth and fragrant base.
  2. Add chia seeds: Slowly stir in the chia seeds to the mixture, whisking for about a minute to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution throughout the liquid.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Serve and garnish: Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir to redistribute any settled seeds. Spoon into glasses or jars and garnish with dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, and optionally a dollop of yogurt and a few coffee beans for an elegant presentation. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee for the best flavor intensity.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
  • The pudding thickens more the longer it chills; overnight chilling yields the best texture.
  • Can be made with any type of milk, dairy or plant-based.
