step by step instructions to make coffee chia seed pudding
Making coffee chia pudding is simple. The chia seeds need enough time to soak and thicken, so this recipe is best prepared ahead of time.
Step 1: Add the Milk and Chia Seeds
Add half of the milk to a glass cup or jar.
Add the chia seeds and instant coffee powder, then pour the remaining milk on top. You don't need to stir at this point.
Step 2: Refrigerate the Chia Mixture
Place the cup or jar in the refrigerator and let the chia seeds soak for about 4 to 6 hours.
During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the milk and begin to thicken.
Step 3: Add the Cream and Sweetener
After the initial chilling time, add the heavy cream and maple syrup to the cup.
If using the optional ingredients, add the cinnamon powder and vanilla extract as well.
Mix everything well until combined, then place it back in the refrigerator and chill for another 4 to 6 hours.
Step 4: Stir and Enjoy!
After chilling for enough time, stir the pudding well and enjoy!
