Ingredients
Pudding
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 2 Tablespoons hemp seeds
- 3/4-1 cup milk (depending on desired thickness)
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
Topping
- 1 Tablespoon white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix the pudding ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chia seeds, hemp seeds, milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Divide into jars: Pour the pudding mixture evenly into two jars or bowls prepared for overnight setting.
- Melt white chocolate and coconut oil: Place white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Incorporate yogurt into topping: Gradually whisk the vanilla Greek yogurt into the melted white chocolate mixture one tablespoon at a time, mixing well until the topping is smooth and uniform.
- Assemble topping: Spread the white chocolate and yogurt topping evenly over each pudding jar. Lightly dust with extra pumpkin spice or ground cinnamon for added flavor.
- Refrigerate overnight: Seal jars with airtight lids and place them in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to allow the pudding to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Enjoy your chilled pumpkin chia seed pudding as a nutritious breakfast or snack the next morning.
Notes
- Adjust milk quantity to achieve preferred pudding thickness.
- This recipe is best prepared the night before to allow chia seeds to fully absorb liquid.
- The white chocolate topping contains dairy; substitute with coconut yogurt and dairy-free chips to make it vegan.
- Store pudding in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- For added crunch, sprinkle nuts or granola on top before serving.
