Cheesecake Chia Pudding is a creamy, no-bake dessert that tastes like cheesecake but is packed with nutrition. Made with chia seeds, cream cheese, and Greek yogurt, it’s rich, protein-packed, and perfect for a healthy breakfast or guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 3 oz (85 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, fresh berries, fruit compote, or honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine milk, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well to prevent clumping.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened and pudding-like.
  4. Stir before serving to loosen the texture if needed.
  5. Divide into serving jars or bowls and top with berries, crushed graham crackers, or fruit compote.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the chia seeds before chilling.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more maple syrup or honey.
  • Best served cold and thickened after at least 4 hours of refrigeration.
  • Can be made vegan with plant-based cream cheese and milk.
