Description
A delightful and healthy dessert that combines the flavors of classic cheesecake with the health benefits of chia seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
- 1/4 cup vegan cream cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- Fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir until mixed and let sit for about 15 minutes to thicken.
- In a separate bowl, blend pureed strawberries with vegan cream cheese until smooth.
- Once the chia pudding has thickened, take serving cups and layer the chia pudding with the cheesecake mixture, repeating until cups are filled.

Notes
For a thicker consistency, let the chia pudding sit longer before serving. You can also use coconut milk for a creamier texture and try adding other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
