Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee (strong)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sweetener to taste (such as honey, simple syrup, or maple syrup) – optional

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew Your Coffee – Start by brewing a strong cup of your preferred coffee. A robust brew ensures the bold coffee flavor shines through the pudding.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients – In a jar or bowl, mix 1/2 cup brewed coffee with 1/2 cup milk of choice. Stir in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and your preferred sweetener to taste.
  3. Step 3: Mix Thoroughly – Whisk or shake the mixture well to evenly distribute the chia seeds and prevent clumping.
  4. Step 4: Refrigerate Overnight – Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a creamy pudding.
  5. Step 5: Stir and Serve – Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, cinnamon, or chopped nuts, or enjoy as is.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed, good-quality coffee to enhance the pudding’s flavor.
  • Stir the mixture a few times within the first hour to prevent chia seeds from settling.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to find your perfect balance without overpowering the coffee.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours for the best pudding texture; overnight is ideal.
  • Experiment with different milk types like oat, coconut, or cashew milk for varied creamy textures and flavors.
