WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

In the afternoons, I’m usually reaching for a snack that gives me energy without weighing me down. Fresh fruit, nuts, and a little chocolate are always my go-to’s, but lately, I’ve been obsessed with having this espresso chia pudding ready to grab from the fridge. It has the perfect balance of rich chocolate and bold espresso and tastes even better with some fresh fruit on top.

I’m a big fan of chia pudding recipes — they’re so easy to prep and customize! If you’re in the mood for something a little lighter, you’ll love my Vanilla Chia Pudding, or if you’re feeling extra cozy, my Strawberry Cottage Cheese Chia Pudding is another favorite.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR COFFEE CHIA PUDDING

• Chia seeds – Tiny seeds that absorb liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
• Cold brew – Smooth, chilled coffee that adds a bold espresso flavor without any bitterness.
• Almond milk – A light, dairy-free milk that keeps the pudding creamy and refreshing.
• Cacao – Unsweetened cocoa powder that brings a rich, chocolatey taste.
• Maple syrup – A natural sweetener that adds just the right touch of sweetness.

If you don’t have cold brew on hand, no worries — you can easily use regular brewed coffee instead. Just make sure it’s had time to cool in the fridge before using it. You want the coffee to be nice and cold, because mixing hot coffee with the chia seeds can affect the texture and make it harder for the pudding to set properly.

HOW TO MAKE COLD BREW CHIA SEED PUDDING

Making this espresso chia seed pudding is quick and easy. You can prep a big batch for the week or a smaller one to enjoy the same day — just be sure to let it chill for at least 1–2 hours so it thickens up.

Start by whisking together the cold brew, almond milk, maple syrup, and cacao powder. Add the chia seeds and whisk again to help them separate and mix evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours. When ready, give it a stir, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy! I love mine with fresh strawberries and cacao nibs.

Coffee Chia Seed Pudding is a quick and easy snack or breakfast recipe. It’s made with chia seeds, cold brew, almond milk, and a touch of maple syrup for sweetness. This simple recipe comes together fast and makes the perfect afternoon pick-me-up, especially paired with fresh fruit like strawberries.

Cook Time 1 hour hour

Servings 2 servings

Ingredients  

1x2x3x

• 1/3 cup chia seeds

Instructions

• Add in the chia seeds last and mix once more. You want to mix with a whisk rather than a spoon as this allows the chia seeds to really separate.

• Remove from the fridge, give it a good stir and enjoy! I like to top mine with fresh strawberries and cacao nibs!
