A creamy and refreshing Peaches and Cream Chia Pudding featuring layers of jammy peach compote and Greek yogurt, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack. This recipe combines cooked peaches blended with milk and honey, soaked chia seeds, and fresh fruit layers for an indulgent yet healthy treat.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Peach Chia Base

  • 1 ½ cups diced peaches (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or honey (for cooking peaches)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used 0% Fage)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds

Peach Layers

  • 1 cup diced peaches
  • 2 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • Squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Cook down the peaches: Add diced peaches, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a small pan over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft, slightly thick and jammy and reduced in liquid. Let cool slightly.
  2. Make the peach milk: Transfer cooked peaches to a blender. Add milk, honey, vanilla bean paste, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix the base: In a large bowl, add Greek yogurt. Pour in the peach milk and mix until fully combined and smooth. Stir in chia seeds last and mix well. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and scoopable.
  5. Prepare optional peach layers: In the same pan, add the second batch of peaches with maple syrup and salt. Cook 5–7 minutes until thick, glossy, and jam-like. Let cool.
  6. Assemble jars: Add a layer of chia pudding, spoon over jammy peaches, add another layer of chia pudding, and finish with more jammy peaches on top. Finish with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a mint leaf for garnish if desired.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen peaches depending on availability.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
  • Use any milk of choice: dairy, almond, oat, or other plant-based milk alternatives work well.
  • For best chia pudding texture, stir the mixture after 5 minutes of resting to avoid clumps.
  • Allow chilling time of at least 2 hours to thicken properly; overnight is ideal.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added fresh taste and visual appeal.
