Notes
- I use regular milk but you can use non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk. With non-dairy milk you may need to adjust the amount so your pudding has the right texture.
- They will eventually, but they typically keep well for months or even a few years if they are store properly. Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place and they will keep for months at room temperature. Or, you can store them even longer in the refrigerator.
- Did you refrigerate the pudding for at least six hours? The seeds need time to absorb the liquid, which will thicken it into a pudding. Also, depending on the kind of milk you use, you may need to add more or less chia seeds to get the right texture.
- They need at least six hours to soak in the milk – this will cause them to absorb the milk and soften. Also, be sure to measure the ingredients – the right ratio will give you the best results.
