Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or preferred low carb sweetener)
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, erythritol, heavy cream, and salt. Whisk together until the erythritol is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Stir well to ensure that the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to thicken and form a pudding-like consistency.
After chilling, stir the pudding to redistribute any seeds that have settled. If the pudding seems too thick, you can add a little extra almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or jars. Serve chilled and enjoy as is or top with your favorite low carb toppings, such as a few berries, nuts, or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
