Ingredients
  

For the Pudding Base
  • 1 medium Ripe Banana Provides natural sweetness and flavor; choose a spotty banana for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Offers creaminess and protein; substitute with silken tofu for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Almond Milk Serves as a base for blending; can be replaced with any milk (dairy or plant-based).
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Adds the perfect touch of sweetness; honey or agave syrup can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; opt for pure vanilla for the best result.
For the Thickening Agent
  • 3 tablespoons Chia Seeds Acts as a nutritious thickener; essential for achieving that pudding consistency.
For the Crunchy Topping
  • 1 cup Vanilla Wafers Gives a satisfying crunch as a topping; try granola or crushed nut bars as a substitute if desired.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling the ripe banana and putting it in your blender. Measure out the cottage cheese, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is ready for blending.
  2. In your blender, combine the banana, cottage cheese, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until you achieve a silky smooth consistency with no lumps.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a large jar or bowl. Add the chia seeds next, and whisk vigorously for about one minute to ensure they are evenly distributed and prevent clumping.
  4. Allow the pudding to sit for 5 minutes to let the chia seeds absorb some liquid and thicken up. After the time is up, whisk the mixture again to break up any clumps. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best results.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, take the pudding out of the fridge and give it a good stir. Crush the vanilla wafers on top for a delightful crunch before serving.
