Rose Cardamom Chia Pudding Recipe
Introduction
Rose Cardamom Chia Pudding is a delicate and fragrant dessert that’s both refreshing and nourishing. Combining floral rose syrup with warm cardamom and creamy chia seeds, it makes a perfect make-ahead treat for breakfast or a light snack.
Ingredients
- 6 fl oz / 170 ml milk of choice (for a creamier texture, use canned coconut milk)
- 1.5 tbsp rose syrup (I like Rose Brand)
- Pinch ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons / 30g chia seeds (black or white)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a 500 ml mason jar, combine the milk, ground cardamom, and rose syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors. Taste the mixture and add maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter pudding.
- Step 2: Add the chia seeds to the jar, close the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for 30 to 60 seconds until the seeds are fully mixed and no longer settling at the bottom.
- Step 3: Refrigerate the jar for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to thicken and the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
- Step 4: Serve chilled with your favorite toppings. Popular options include Greek yogurt, chopped pistachios, and edible rose petals for added texture and flavor.
Tips & Variations
- For extra creaminess, substitute half or all of the milk with canned coconut milk.
- If you don’t have rose syrup, try using a splash of rose water, but add it carefully as it is more concentrated.
- Sweeten naturally with maple syrup or honey to your taste preferences.
- Try adding fresh fruit like raspberries or pomegranate seeds as a vibrant topping.
Storage
Store the chia pudding in a sealed container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving if separation occurs. Reheat is not recommended as it changes the texture; it’s best enjoyed chilled.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this pudding vegan?
Yes, simply use a plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, or oat milk along with maple syrup or another vegan sweetener.
How long does the chia pudding take to set?
It usually thickens within 30 minutes but benefits from resting for a few hours or overnight for the best texture.
