Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, ground flaxseed, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Whisk the ingredients together until well incorporated and smooth. The mixture will thicken slightly as the flaxseed absorbs the liquid.
Divide the mixture evenly between two serving bowls or glasses.
Top each serving with fresh berries of your choice.
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch and flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the pudding to chill and thicken further.
Enjoy as a healthy breakfast or snack!
