Ingredients
-
1/4 cup chia seeds
-
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
-
2 tablespoons Dipasa tahini
-
1 tablespoon Dipasa agave nectar (adjust to taste)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
A pinch of salt
-
Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or any berries of your choice
Instructions
1. Mix the Base
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, Dipasa tahini, agave nectar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and won't clump together.
2. Let it Set
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. For best results, leave it overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid, creating a pudding-like consistency.
3. Stir Occasionally
If possible, give the mixture a good stir about an hour into refrigeration. This prevents clumping and ensures the pudding has a smooth, even texture.
4. Top with Berries
When the pudding has set, take it out of the fridge and give it one last stir. Spoon the pudding into serving glasses or bowls and top with fresh strawberries, blueberries, or your favorite berries.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with an extra drizzle of Dipasa tahini or agave nectar for added decadence. Serve immediately and savor every bite of this nutritious and satisfying treat.
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Tahini Berry Chia Pudding
-
Choose Your Milk: Almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor, but feel free to use oat milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk for a different taste and texture.
-
Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of agave nectar based on your preference. Honey or maple syrup can also be used as sweeteners.
-
Texture Check: Stirring the mixture within the first hour is key to avoiding clumps. If you miss this step, use a whisk to smooth it out before serving.
-
Storage: Chia pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it a great meal prep option. Just add fresh toppings before serving.
-
Topping Variations: Don’t limit yourself to berries! Try topping your pudding with sliced bananas, shredded coconut, or granola for added crunch and flavor.
