Print Recipe

This creamy cheesecake chia pudding is a guilt-free dessert that tastes like a real treat. It’s quick, easy, and made with simple ingredients for a rich, tangy, and satisfying pudding.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup milk (any kind, such as unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, crushed graham crackers, extra maple syrup, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese: Take cream cheese out of fridge 30 minutes before starting, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft but not melted.
  2. Blend the base: In a blender, combine softened cream cheese, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth. Scrape down sides if needed.
  3. Taste and adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tanginess as desired.
  4. Add the chia seeds: Pour blended mixture into a large bowl or measuring cup with a spout. Add chia seeds and whisk thoroughly. Whisk again after 5 minutes to prevent clumps.
  5. Portion into jars: Divide mixture evenly among 4 jars or containers, leaving room for toppings.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours: Let set in the refrigerator, ideally overnight, for best texture and flavor.
  7. Stir before serving: Give each jar a good stir before serving to redistribute chia seeds.
  8. Add toppings and enjoy: Top with fresh berries, crushed graham crackers, or other desired toppings. Serve cold.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients. Whisk chia seeds twice to prevent clumps. The pudding tastes even better on day two or three. Do not freeze. If too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk.
