Caramel Macchiato Chia Pudding
A creamy chilled pudding made with chia seeds, cottage cheese, espresso, and caramel syrup, delivering a protein rich breakfast with the flavor of a classic coffeehouse drink.
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon hot water
- 1 tablespoon sugar free caramel syrup or maple syrup
- ¼ cup chia seeds
Mix instant espresso powder with 1 tsp hot water in a small cup to form a smooth coffee paste.
Blend cottage cheese, almond milk, coffee paste, and caramel syrup until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into a jar and whisk in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until thick and creamy.
Before serving, drizzle a little extra caramel syrup on top.
