Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For a richer and more indulgent pudding, you can substitute the almond milk with full-fat coconut milk or stir in two tablespoons of Greek yogurt for a non-vegan version. It is crucial to whisk the mixture twice in the beginning to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and do not settle into a block at the bottom.
