Instructions

  • Blend together 150 g Fat free cottage cheese, 180 ml Skimmed milk, 2 tablespoon Maple syrup and 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract.
  • Pour the cottage cheese mixture into a mixing bowl and add 50 g Chia seeds. Mix well.
  • In serving glasses, layer a mixture of 200 g Mixed berries with the chia mixture.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Top with cacao nibs before serving (optional).

Notes

  • Blend the cottage cheese mixture until it is completely smooth. A high-speed blender gives the best texture for the cottage cheese chia pudding, but a food processor can also work. Scrape down the sides if needed so there are no curds left.
  • Stir the chia seeds in by hand after blending. This keeps the pudding texture classic and prevents it from becoming overly thick too quickly. After adding the chia seeds, stir once, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then stir again to stop clumps forming.
  • Use a cottage cheese you enjoy the taste of. Some brands are saltier or tangier than others, and that will affect the final pudding. If your cottage cheese tastes quite salty, you may want to add a little extra maple syrup or vanilla.
  • Do not skip the chill time. The chia seeds need at least 2 hours to absorb the liquid and thicken properly. For the best texture, make it the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight.
  • Add the cacao nibs just before serving. If you add them before chilling, they can soften and lose some of their crunch.
