Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

Almond Date Crumble

  • 1/2 cup almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates

Fresh Strawberry Topping

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or maple syrup (optional, to enhance flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chia pudding base: Combine chia seeds with almond milk and vanilla extract in a bowl or jar. Stir well to prevent clumps, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened to a creamy, custard-like texture.
  2. Make the almond date crumble: Pulse toasted almonds and pitted dates in a food processor until small, crumbly clusters form. Lightly toast the crumble in a dry skillet or oven to enhance crunch and flavor.
  3. Prepare the strawberries: Wash and slice the strawberries. Optionally, sprinkle with lemon juice or maple syrup to brighten the flavor.
  4. Assemble the pudding: Layer the chilled chia pudding with sliced strawberries and top generously with the almond date crumble. Serve immediately or chill longer to meld flavors.

Notes

  • Stir chia and milk thoroughly at the start and after 10 minutes to avoid clumps.
  • Use ripe strawberries for natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Toast almonds over medium heat carefully to release oils without burning.
  • Adjust pudding consistency by adding more milk for thinner texture or more chia seeds for thickness.
  • Prepare ahead for enhanced flavor development; pudding tastes better the next day.
