Base
- ½ cup plant-based milk (soy, almond, or oat milk; approx. 120ml)
- 1 cup plain, thick dairy-free Greek-style yogurt (approx. 227g)
- ½ cup chia seeds (approx. 85g)
Flavorings
- 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)
Topping
- ⅓ tbsp cocoa powder for dusting (approx. 2g)
- Raspberries, fresh or frozen, optional for topping
- 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 the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Rest and Re-whisk: Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid. Then whisk again thoroughly to break up any clumps of chia seeds for an even texture.
- Chill: Divide the pudding mixture evenly between four small jars or serving containers. Cover each tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to achieve a thick, creamy pudding consistency.
- Serve: Just before serving, dust the top of each pudding with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh or frozen raspberries if desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a fresh espresso shot instead of instant espresso.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Use thick, Greek-style dairy-free yogurt for a creamier texture; regular plant-based yogurt can make it thinner.
- This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to swap raspberries with other berries or fruits as toppings.
