• For a smoother texture, blend the chia pudding before layering.

Storage

Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again, and keep the raspberry layer separate if possible to maintain freshness. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use other types of milk for this pudding?

Yes, this recipe works well with any milk you prefer, such as cow’s milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Each will slightly change the flavor and creaminess.

How do I prevent chia seeds from clumping?

Stirring the mixture once about 30 minutes into chilling helps prevent clumps. Also, using a whisk or shaking the mixture before refrigerating can aid in even distribution.
