How to Make Nutella Chia Seed Pudding

Making Nutella Chia Seed Pudding is a breeze! Trust me, if you can mix a few ingredients, you can score some serious dessert points. Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps:

Gather your ingredients and tools. You’ll need a mixing bowl and a whisk or spoon.
Mix it all together. Just toss everything in the bowl and stir it up!
Let it chill. Give it some time in the fridge to become that thick, pudding-like consistency.
Top it off. Add your favorite fruits or nuts before serving. Voila!

Ingredients

1/2 cup chia seeds
1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
1/4 cup Nutella
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh fruit or nuts for topping (optional)

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, Nutella, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken.
Once the pudding is set, give it a good stir before serving.
Serve chilled, topped with fresh fruit or nuts if desired.

How to Serve Nutella Chia Seed Pudding

Serving Nutella Chia Seed Pudding is all about presentation and taste. Pour it into cute little bowls or mason jars for an extra touch! Layer it with some fresh fruits like bananas, strawberries, or even nuts for added crunch. If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup on top. Yes, please! 🍫

How to Store Nutella Chia Seed Pudding

Leftovers? No problem! Store your Nutella Chia Seed Pudding in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays good for about 4–5 days—if it lasts that long! Just give it a quick stir before you dive back in, as it might thicken slightly in the fridge. Nobody likes a brick-like pudding! 😅

Tips to Make Nutella Chia Seed Pudding

Adjust sweetness to taste. Not a fan of sweet? Skip the maple syrup or use a sugar alternative.
Experiment with milk. Almond milk is great, but feel free to try coconut or oat milk for a different flavor.
Don’t forget the toppings! Fresh fruit, nuts, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate your pudding to a whole new level.

Variation

Feel free to switch things up! How about a peanut butter version if Nutella isn’t your jam? Just swap the Nutella for peanut butter and maybe add a little cocoa powder for an extra chocolate fix. The possibilities are endless! 🎉
