Chia seed pudding is a fantastic dessert for anyone doing the ketogenic diet. It’s highly nutritious and it’s simple enough to prepare (you only need 5 minutes to make this from scratch)! You’ll find plenty of versions and flavors of this pudding online, but they all have one thing in common, the main star, chia seeds. Without further ado, here's my quick and easy chia seed pudding recipe!
Weigh 60g of chia seeds into a bowl. It doesn't sound like much, but at 15g per serving, chia expands a lot when liquid is added. FYI, chia seeds can absorb liquid up to 10-15 times their weight!
Add 1 can (400ml) of coconut cream and 1 tsp stevia to the chia seeds and stir thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are combined together.
This recipe makes 4 servings, so pour equal quantities of the pudding mixture into 4 containers. At this point, you should already notice the mix starting to thicken and change to a pudding consistency.
Place the pudding in the fridge for 4 hours (or ideally overnight) to let it gel. I like to make mine in the morning so I can eat one in the evening. But, of course, it’s also fine if you do it the other way - mix it in the evening and eat it for breakfast in the morning!
If you’re wondering how long you can store the pudding in the refrigerator, it’s safe to leave it there for up to 3-5 days. But I’m sure it’s not going to last that long in there – if you’re like me, you’ll finish all 4 servings in a day or two!
