# Ingredient List:
→ Chia Pudding
01 - 1/2 cup chia seeds
02 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Berry Compote
05 - 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen; e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
07 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
→ Toppings
08 - 1/2 cup fresh berries
09 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
10 - 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let rest for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened.
02 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the berries soften and release syrup. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
03 - Once chilled and set, stir the chia pudding thoroughly to ensure even texture.
04 - Spoon a layer of chia pudding into serving jars or bowls, add a layer of berry compote, and repeat layers as desired. Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, and sliced almonds.
05 - Refrigerate assembled servings up to 4 days. Serve chilled for best taste.
