Description

This Strawberry Cheesecake Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy and nutritious dessert or breakfast option, blending the richness of cream cheese with fresh strawberries and the health benefits of chia seeds. It’s naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup and infused with vanilla, making it a delightful, no-cook treat that sets overnight in the fridge for perfect texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Seed Pudding Base

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (almond milk, coconut milk, or regular milk)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavor and Texture

  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped

Instructions

  1. Measure Chia Seeds: Measure 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and place them in a bowl or jar to form the pudding base.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: Wash, hull, and chop 1 cup of fresh strawberries into small pieces for flavor and texture.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Add 4 tablespoons of room temperature cream cheese into the bowl to create a creamy cheesecake flavor.
  4. Pour Milk: Pour 1 cup of your choice of milk (almond, coconut, or regular) into the mixture to hydrate the chia seeds and soften the cream cheese.
  5. Sweeten the Mixture: Add 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetness balancing the creaminess and tartness.
  6. Enhance with Vanilla: Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to elevate the flavor profile with a warm vanilla aroma.
  7. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients well to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed and cream cheese is fully incorporated without lumps.
  8. Let Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to let the chia seeds start absorbing the liquid.
  9. Stir Again: Stir the pudding again to prevent clumping and ensure an even consistency.
  10. Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the pudding thicken and the flavors meld perfectly.
