INGREDIENTS REQUIRED TO PREPARE COLD COFFEE CHIA PUDDING

Coffee

I have used instant Nescafé coffee for my pudding because it is a very quick and easy way to add the flavor of coffee to it. Coffee flavor improves the overall taste and serves as a nice contrast to the crucial crisps and mild taste of chia seeds and milk. You can thus increase or decrease the amount of instant coffee according to what you like. I prefer my chia pudding to have a rich, robust coffee flavor.

Milk

The milk is the foundation of pudding. It schemes this chocolate smoothie chia pudding entirely. You can try different varieties of milk available in the market according to your taste and preference. I have used Nestle toned milk, and it perfectly soaked the chia seeds. Non-dairy and healthier options are also available, such as oat milk or almond milk.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds are fiber and protein, omega-3, calcium, and iron. They are an excellent way to balance your diet. Apart from numerous health benefits, it is the main ingredient that makes this pudding dense and creamy!

Honey

Honey adds a natural touch of sweetness and enhances the entire pudding flavor, yet doesn’t require an application of refined sugar. Honey nicely mixes with milk and chia seeds while imparting a smoothly blended consistency of pudding texture. It has natural preservatives, thus prolonging even the shelf life of your chia puddings while stored in a refrigerator.

COOL COFFEE CHIA PUDDING EQUIPMENT

• This recipe can be prepared with suddenness and hardly any equipment.

TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE COLD COFFEE CHIA PUDDING.

• Sweetness: Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or any other sweetener you choose.
• Blend the Ingredients: Blend the milk, honey, and coffee before incorporating them.
• Chill: Let it sit for some hours or overnight in the fridge. This ensures that the chia seeds soak up the liquid and create a silky texture.

• Full-fat milk is better in texture and taste than the readily available skimmed milk in the market.
• Choose chia seeds that are fresh and of good quality. When pressed, they should not be flat and should have a neutral smell; good-quality seeds ensure better texture in the pudding.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp coffee powder
• 1+ ½ cup milk
• 1 tbsp honey
• 4 tbsp chia seeds
• 2-3 tbsp dark chocolate, melted

Instruction

• Blend coffee powder, milk, and honey. Blend until smooth and frothy.
• Pour cold coffee into a low, shallow dish and stir in chia seeds.
• Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or until the pudding has reached the desired consistency.
• When thickened, divide the chia pudding into 2 ramekins and top with melted chocolate to form a thin, hard shell on top. Break it to enjoy your chia pudding.

Best Cold Brew Coffee Chia Pudding Pro Tips

• Twice stir. That is mixed initially while combining and again after 10 minutes to avoid clumpiness.
• The thirstier it becomes, the creamier. So keep it overnight for soaking.
• The ratio must be: a good chia-seed to liquid ratio is actually 3tbsp seeds for 1cup liquid.
• The least sweet would be better to put initially, since it could always be added.
• Add fruits and all those crunchy toppings right before the children finish serving, making them fresher.
• Batching: This base pudding can keep in the fridge for as long as 5 days.
