serving 4 (1/2 cup serving)
Matcha pudding
- 1 ½ the cup Dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened // we like 3/4 cup canned light coconut milk + 3/4 cup almond milk)
- 2 tablespoon Maple syrup (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoon Matcha powder (depending on strength // find our favorite brands here)
- 1/2 the cup Chia seeds

Matcha Pudding: In a mixing bowl (or container with a lid), add the dairy-free milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and matcha (start with a small amount). Shake vigorously, best side to side, to combine and break up any clumps of mache. If there are any stubborn clumps, you can transfer to a blender to combine completely. Taste and adjust, adding more matcha if desired or more maple syrup for sweetness.
-
Then add the chia seeds and mix until well combined. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, then stir again (to prevent clumping). Cover and refrigerate for 45-60 minutes (or overnight). Chia pudding should be very thick and creamy. If not, add more chia seeds, stir and refrigerate for another hour or so.
-
Strawberry Compote: While the pudding is cooling, make the strawberry compote. Add strawberries, lemon juice, and maple syrup to a small saucepan and bring to medium heat. Once bubbling, reduce the heat slightly and mash the fruit using a wooden spoon. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, until most of the berries have broken down and are spicy and fragrant. Remove from heat and transfer to a clean jar or container to cool thoroughly.
-
Once the pudding is fully set, divide, top with a generous helping of strawberry compote, and serve! Leftover pudding will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Any leftover compote will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and is delicious with oats, pancakes, waffles, French toast and more!
