Your new go-to cozy treat—with a chai-spiced twist!
Okay, hear me out: If pumpkin pie and a steaming cup of chai had a lovechild, this would be it.
As the weather starts to cool and everything suddenly smells like cinnamon and nostalgia, I find myself reaching for flavors that feel like a hug. Enter this Pumpkin Chai Chia Pudding. It’s creamy, cozy, just sweet enough, and packed with all the warm fall spices we crave this time of year.
What makes this pudding extra special? The secret is steeping the chia mixture with Spiced Chai—a gorgeous loose-leaf blend full of bold, aromatic spices like cardamom, ginger, clove, star anise, and a peppery little kick. (You can check it out.
The result is basically fall in a jar: smooth pumpkin purée, creamy coconut milk, and warming chai layered into a dessert (or breakfast, no judgment) that feels as nourishing as it is indulgent. Trust me—you’ll want to eat it straight from the fridge with a spoon.
Ingredients:
½ cup Spiced Chai tea (steeped and cooled)
1 can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup pumpkin purée
¼ cup chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp nutmeg
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
Brew your Spiced Chai and let it cool to room temp. (I steep mine strong—about 1 tbsp tea to ½ cup hot water—for that bold flavor hit.)
In a mixing bowl or large jar, combine: coconut milk, pumpkin purée, sweetener, spices, cooled chai tea, and chia seeds.
Stir well to mix (or shake if using a jar), then cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, give it a stir and top with whatever makes your heart happy—more cinnamon, whipped coconut cream, granola, even a drizzle of almond butter.
Optional glow-up: Layer it into a clear glass or jar for a café-worthy moment. Dust the top with a bit more cinnamon (or a little chai spice blend) for that pro touch.
Why We Love It:
This pudding isn’t just delicious—it’s your ticket to a slower, cozier season. It’s perfect for:
