Description
A simple, layered chia pudding mimicking the flavors of a caramel macchiato coffee drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (for drizzling)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a jar or container, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to prevent clumping.
- Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens into a pudding consistency.
- Once thickened, stir the pudding gently.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the brewed espresso or coffee with a tiny amount of sweetener if desired.
- To assemble, spoon half of the chia pudding into a serving glass.
- Pour the coffee mixture evenly over the first layer.
- Top with the remaining chia pudding.
- Drizzle the top with caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use cold brew concentrate for a stronger coffee flavor without adding extra liquid.
- For a thicker pudding, increase the chia seed amount slightly.
- You can layer this in a clear glass to show the distinct layers.
