Description

Delicious and nutritious Raspberry Chia Pudding with creamy cottage cheese and a vibrant homemade raspberry sauce, topped with crunchy almond flakes. This healthy dessert or breakfast is easy to prepare, combines the goodness of chia seeds and fresh raspberries, and is naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Pudding

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Raspberry Sauce

  • 1 cup raspberries (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tbsp water

Topping

  • Almond flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a bowl, combine chia seeds, cottage cheese, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to integrate all ingredients. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the mixture.
  2. Make the Raspberry Sauce: Place the raspberries and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the raspberries to release their juices. Add a little more water if needed to reach desired sauce consistency. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
  3. Assemble the Dish: Divide the chilled chia pudding evenly into two small glasses or jars. Spoon the cooled raspberry sauce over the top of the pudding. Finally, sprinkle almond flakes on each serving for a crunchy texture and added nuttiness.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the cottage cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives such as almond milk and vegan yogurt.
  • Adjust the maple syrup amount to your preferred sweetness.
  • Raspberry sauce can be strained for a smoother texture if desired.
  • Can be prepared the night before for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or dessert.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries depending on availability; frozen work well and don’t require thawing before cooking.
