Chia Pudding Base
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, such as almond or coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon rose water
Fruit & Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add the chia seeds, milk, and rose water. Stir well until the chia seeds are evenly dispersed and there are no clumps.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in half of the fresh raspberries into the chia mixture to incorporate their flavor and slight texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight or for at least 6 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
- Serve: Once set, give the pudding a good stir, transfer to serving bowls or glasses, top with the remaining fresh raspberries and chopped pistachios for crunch and garnish.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a vegan version.
- Adjust the amount of rose water according to your taste preference, as it can be quite potent.
- For added sweetness, optionally stir in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup before refrigerating.
- This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, making this a nutritious snack or breakfast.
