FAQs

Can I make the pudding without a food processor?

Yes, you can mix the ingredients thoroughly using a blender or whisk, but a food processor makes it easier to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.

How do chia seeds affect the texture of the pudding?

Chia seeds absorb liquid and swell, creating a gel-like consistency that thickens the pudding and adds a pleasant, slightly chewy texture.
