Delicious Homemade Strawberry Cheesecake Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

Indulge in this delightful Homemade Strawberry Cheesecake Chia Seed Pudding that combines the creamy flavors of cheesecake with fresh strawberries. It’s a guilt-free dessert that’s easy to prepare and packed with nutrition!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a non-dairy option)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (or agave syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Start by washing and hulling about one cup of fresh strawberries. Slice them into small pieces, and if you like, reserve a few slices for garnish later.
  2. In a blender, combine the chopped strawberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, making sure it’s well mixed.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the chia seeds. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  5. Once set, give the pudding a good stir. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk to loosen it up. Spoon into bowls or jars, and top with the reserved strawberry slices and a dollop of Greek yogurt for a beautiful presentation.

Keywords: If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any strawberry seeds before adding the chia seeds. Adjust the sweetness to your taste, and feel free to experiment with other fruits for variations.
