Ingredients
  

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 medium ripe peach, diced

1/2 cup raspberries (use fresh or thawed frozen raspberries)

Optional: toasted almonds or coconut flakes for an added crunch

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Combine the Basics: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Ensure the chia seeds are well distributed and not clumping, as this will ensure a creamy texture in your pudding.

    Refrigerate the Mixture: Cover the mixing bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling period allows the chia seeds to soak up the liquid and expand, forming a thick, pudding-like consistency.

      Prepare the Fruit Toppings: While the chia pudding is setting in the refrigerator, prepare your fruit toppings. Dice the fresh peach into small cubes, and if you’re using fresh raspberries, wash them gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

        Layer the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has set, remove it from the refrigerator. In serving glasses or bowls, carefully layer the pudding with the diced peaches and raspberries. For added visual appeal, feel free to mix half of the fruits into the chia pudding for a splash of color throughout.

          Garnish: Top each dessert with the remaining fresh fruit. If desired, add a sprinkle of toasted almonds or coconut flakes on top for a delightful crunch. To complete the presentation, garnish each serving with a few fresh mint leaves, adding a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

            Serve: Enjoy your Peach Melba Chia Pudding immediately for the best texture. If you have leftovers, store them covered in the fridge for up to two days.
