Add more water if needed. Remove from the heat and let it cool down. It will thicken as it cools.To serve: Pour the raspberry sauce over your chia pudding and top up with almond flakes.Notes: It’s important that you stir the chia pudding after it’s chilled for a few hours. By stirring it, you will break up any clumps of chia seeds in the milk or at the bottom of the jar. If the chia seeds are clumped, they won’t absorb as much liquid, which will result in a thinner pudding.If your chia pudding is too thin after it chills overnight, add more chia seeds, stir well, and chill it for another few hours. The extra chia seeds will absorb the excess liquid.Store chia pudding in a covered jar or other airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.If the pudding becomes too thick, loosen it with a little extra milk before adding your desired toppings and digging in.Tip: Scale up this recipe if you are making it for meal prep!Your chia seed pudding is ready to eat when it has a creamy, pudding-like texture. Just add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
