This Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy, nutritious breakfast or snack option that combines the natural goodness of chia seeds and pumpkin puree with warm spices and a hint of vanilla. Perfectly balanced in sweetness and texture, this pudding is topped with a luscious white chocolate and yogurt blend, making it a delightful treat to prepare ahead and enjoy chilled.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Pudding Base

  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 3/4-1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, depending on desired pudding thickness)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup

Topping

  • 1 Tablespoon white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix Pudding Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the chia seeds, hemp seeds, milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until evenly mixed.
  2. Divide the Mixture: Pour the pudding mixture evenly into two jars or bowls, ensuring equal portions.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  4. Combine Topping: Gradually whisk the vanilla Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt) into the melted white chocolate mixture, adding one tablespoon at a time to achieve a smooth, creamy topping.
  5. Top Jars: Spread the white chocolate-yogurt topping evenly over each pudding portion and lightly sprinkle with additional pumpkin spice or ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
  6. Cover and Chill: Seal the jars or bowls with airtight lids and refrigerate overnight (about 8 hours) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • You can adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred pudding thickness; use less milk for a thicker pudding.
  • Substitute vanilla Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free or vegan version.
  • To melt white chocolate without a microwave, use a double boiler on the stovetop, stirring continuously.
  • Make sure to refrigerate the pudding for at least 6-8 hours or overnight for optimal texture.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
