- 1 cup eggnog
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds may add a couple more tablespoons if you want a thicker pudding
Optional ingredients:
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- cinnamon powder a pinch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- fruits like berries, sliced bananas etc (or any fruit of your choice)
Add the eggnog to a clear glass cup or jar or coffee mug or bowl.
Add the chia seeds, stir well to combine with the eggnog. If using any of the optional ingredients, you can add them too (except the fruits if you intend to use them as topping) and stir well to combine.
Cover and keep in the refrigerate to soak the chia seeds in the eggnog, for overnight or at least 6 to 8 hours, though I recommend soaking the chia for more hours for best results. Also, for the best results, stir the contents using a spoon, after soaking for few hours, and then put the contents back in the refrigerator for even soaking that yield better results.
Once the chia seeds are soaked for several hours and the pudding is thickened, enjoy as a delicious dessert, snack or breakfast as you desire! You may add sliced fresh fruits or berries for topping!
