Yogurt Chia Pudding
Description
Yogurt Chia Pudding depends on the interaction between creamy vanilla yogurt and soaked chia seeds that form a pudding-like texture. The strawberries are mixed with cane sugar and refrigerated to soften and develop a juicy syrup, enhancing their natural sweetness and creating a contrasting syrup for the yogurt base. When layered, the macerated strawberries, blueberries, and chia pudding complement the smooth yogurt, combining fresh berries' tart and sweet flavors with the mild, rich yogurt and soft gel texture of the chia seeds.
The pudding is assembled in layers for appealing presentation and texture contrast. It is served immediately for the best consistency, as the chia pudding maintains its gel structure and the fresh fruit provides bursts of flavor without becoming mushy or watery.
The recipe recommends refrigerating any leftovers covered for up to 2 to 3 days to preserve freshness and texture.

- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt whole milk

Notes
- Store assembled pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days to maintain freshness.
