Cheesecake Chia Pudding is a healthy, creamy, and delicious recipe perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. It features a smooth, cheesecake-like texture made with cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds, and can be customized with various natural flavors such as strawberry, mango, or butterfly pea for a vibrant twist. This easy no-cook pudding is prepared by blending ingredients and chilling overnight, making it a convenient and nutritious treat.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Base:

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese, small curd
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup agave syrup, honey, or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

For Strawberry Cheesecake Pudding:

  • 1 tablespoon strawberry powder (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries

For Mango Cheesecake Pudding:

  • 1/2 cup mango puree

For Butterfly Sweet Pea Cheesecake Pudding:

  • 1 tablespoon butterfly pea powder

Toppings:

  • Fresh strawberries and berries
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chopped mango and shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Choose Your Flavor: Select the flavor variation you want to make—strawberry, mango, or butterfly sweet pea cheesecake chia pudding—and gather the base ingredients along with the corresponding flavor additions.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the base ingredients and the chosen flavor ingredients into a food processor. This includes cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, agave or sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), chia seeds, and fruit powders or purees depending on your choice.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture at low speed until it becomes creamy and smooth. Pause the blending once or twice to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl to ensure even mixing.
  4. Chill Overnight: Pour the blended mixture into jars or serving containers. Add your preferred toppings such as fresh fruits or shredded coconut. Cover the jars with lids and refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and the pudding to set with a creamy texture.
  5. Serve: After chilling, serve the cheesecake chia pudding cold as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert and enjoy the rich, creamy flavor with your chosen toppings.

Notes

  • You can substitute agave syrup with honey or maple syrup depending on your preference or dietary restrictions.
  • Vanilla extract is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor to the pudding base.
  • Chilling overnight is key for chia seeds to fully swell and create the perfect pudding consistency.
  • Flavor powders such as strawberry or butterfly pea powder are optional and can be adjusted to taste or omitted for a plain cheesecake flavor.
  • Use fresh or frozen fruit for toppings based on availability and preference.
