How to Make It

Alright, cozy up because we’re diving into pudding land. First off, grab some chia seeds. Think of them as tiny superheroes, ready to bulk up with liquid like the Hulk! And they really do puff up – it’s like magic. Mix them with your preferred milk (I usually just pour until it feels right… because measuring? What’s that?). A splash of vanilla and a sweetener if you’re having one of those kind of weeks and need a little extra joy. Stir it all together – not going to lie, sometimes I forget the stirring part and it’s a goopy mess, but hey, it still tastes like heaven! Toss it in the fridge to do its thing, and bam, magic pudding plops. Top with fruit, nuts, or whatever didn’t make it onto yesterday’s grocery list!

Ingredient Notes

– Chia seeds: The quiet heroes – they go from minuscule to marvelous with just a bit of liquid.
– Milk: Any kind you like, seriously. Monday almond milk, Tuesday coconut, Wednesday… well, you get it.
– Sweetener (optional): Honey, sugar, or maple touch. Once I tried to skip it – let’s just say, the taste didn’t ‘stick.’

Recipe Steps

1. Mix chia seeds with your milk of choice.
2. Add vanilla extract and sweetener (if you need a little extra joy).
3. Stir well to combine all the goodness.
4. Refrigerate until it sets nicely, about 2 hours or overnight.
5. Top with fruits or nuts before serving for that extra flair.

What to Serve It With

A side of seasonal fruit, a sprinkle of granola, a dollop of yogurt… or, if you’re my kid, a side of “nothing” because they prefer it in its holy glory.

Tips & Mistakes

Don’t forget to stir initially, or you’ll end up with a hard chia mountain. It happened, and you don’t want that.

Storage Tips

Store in a fridge, in a jar (you’ll feel very Pinterest-y doing this). It’s perfect cold from the fridge – kind of like a sneak attack of goodness in your mouth. Do it for breakfast when you’ve run out of energy to toast a bagel.

Variations and Substitutions

Switch up the milk – oat, almond, or that can collecting dust in your pantry. Swap out sweeteners like a sweet-toothed bandit, or chuck in any berries-like survivors from your last smoothie. Sometimes, I skip ingredients just to see what happens – it’s usually survivable.

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
