Chai Latte Chia Puddiing
Chai Latte Chia Pudding is a delightful fusion of classic chia pudding and the aromatic, comforting flavors of a chai latte. This infusion gives the pudding a rich, cozy flavor reminiscent of your favorite chai tea. The magic happens when a blend of warming spices, including cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and ginger, infuses the chia seeds and nut milk.
The cashew cream adds a nice touch of nuttiness and creaminess. I find that this topping not only enhances the pudding’s taste but also provides a delightful contrast to the spiced chia base. The leftover can be used to garnish desserts, overnight oats, beverages, pancakes… I often eat it with fresh fruits as a dip. 😋
