How Do You Make My Blueberry Cheesecake Chia Seed Pudding Recipe?
Step 1. Make your Chia Seed Pudding
Combine milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a jar. Stir it with a fork and allow it to sit and soak for about 5 minutes.
Stir it again with a fork to break up any clumps of chia seeds. Cover with a lid and store in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 2. Color the Chia Seed Pudding Purple
Heat 1/4 cup of frozen strawberries in the microwave or over the stove until warm and soft. Using a fork, press the purple juice from the blueberries. Mix the juice with the chia seed pudding.
Step 3. Make the Cream Cheese Honey Greek Yogurt
Combine the greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice and salt in a bowl and mix with a spatula until well combined.
Step 4. Prep the Graham Cracker Bits
Make my delicious Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Bits at least 30 minutes before layering this pudding so they have time to cool. You could also use your favorite graham crackers.
Step 5. Layer the Pudding
Drop a handful of graham cracker bits into the bottom of your glass. Then spoon 1/2 cup of chia seed pudding into your glass. Pour in a layer of cream cheese honey greek yogurt. Spread a few more graham cracker bits. Top with fresh blueberries and a few optional mint leaves.
Ste 6. Enjoy!
You can make my Peanut Butter Banana Chia Seed Pudding ahead of time and store it in the fridge. The bananas on top may turn a little brown after a day or two. You could wait to add fresh banana slices to the top before eating it.
