Here’s a hot take: not all chia pudding needs to be spoon-standing thick. Some people like it like a thick milkshake. Others want it like pudding. But if you’re staring at a puddle? Something’s off.
Try the two-tablespoon trick. For one cup of milk, use two tablespoons of chia seeds. That’s your starter. For an even thicker pudding, use three tablespoons. Your spoon will salute you.
And don’t forget salt. A tiny pinch of salt enhances the flavor and helps the seeds behave. Yes, salt in dessert. Trust me. It’s like a pep talk for your pudding.
