FAQ
What is black sesame?
Black sesame is commonly used in Asian cuisines and can come in the form of seeds, powder, or paste. The taste is often described as earthy, nutty, rich, and perfect for balancing out sweet desserts. It can also be used in savory dishes, like noodles or salads!
In this recipe, I used Rooted Fare’s Black Sesame Crunchy Butter, which is plant-based and contains black sesame seeds, peanuts, brown sugar, crunchy breadcrumbs, and vegetable oil.
They recommend adding the product to toast, oatmeal, fruit, ice cream, and more. My personal favorite is on homemade bread for breakfast.. and of course, my other black sesame recipes (black sesame cupcakes + Oreo black sesame muddy buddies)!
What is chia seed pudding?
When you soak chia seeds in a liquid like water or milk for a minimum of 30 minutes, the mixture thickens and becomes a pudding-like consistency. It’s a very quick, easy, and healthy snack-prep option full of fiber + healthy fats.
What is the best chia pudding ratio?
For single-serve chia pudding, you can mix together 2 tablespoons of chia seeds + 1/2 cup of milk. This recipe is double that. You can always triple or quadruple the recipe to last you the rest of the week.

How long does chia seed pudding last for?

Can I freeze chia seed pudding?
Yes, you can freeze chia seed pudding for up to one month! I recommend freezing it in portions, then thawing it in the fridge overnight.

You can store black sesame chia pudding, without any toppings, in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. I recommend keeping the toppings separate so the cookies don’t become super soggy.
