Ingredients
1/4 cup chia seeds
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 oz cream cheese (softened)
2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or monk fruit/stevia blend)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional)
1/2 cup fresh peaches (diced), plus extra for garnish
1/2 tsp sugar-free peach syrup or extract (optional)
2 tbsp plain full-fat Greek yogurt (optional)
Instructions
1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
2. Step 2: Pour in unsweetened almond milk. If using, add Greek yogurt and sugar-free peach syrup. Whisk vigorously until fully incorporated and smooth.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle chia seeds into the wet mixture. Stir immediately and thoroughly for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent clumping. Scrape sides and bottom.
4. Step 4: Gently fold in most of the diced fresh peaches, reserving some for garnish. Stir just enough to distribute evenly.
5. Step 5: Transfer the mixture into individual serving jars or containers with lids. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
6. Step 6: When ready to serve, stir the bowl. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Top with reserved peach dices and any desired garnishes (e.g., nuts, sugar-free whipped cream, cinnamon). Enjoy chilled.
Notes
Pro Tips: Use softened cream cheese for a lump-free base. Stir chia seeds immediately and again after 5-10 minutes for a smooth texture. Adjust sweetness to taste before chilling. Ripe peaches provide best natural sweetness; if using underripe peaches, add a splash of sugar-free peach extract. Layer the bowl for visual appeal: half chia mixture, a layer of peaches, remaining chia, and top peaches. For a thinner consistency, add extra almond milk when serving. For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds slightly next time. Storage: Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Do not freeze. Reheating not required; serve chilled.
