About this oreo black sesame chia pudding recipe
Yes, another chia pudding recipe to add my collection! This time, it is with another one of my favorite flavor pairings: black sesame and oreo.
In the past, I’ve made oreo + black sesame penguin cupcakes and oreo + black sesame muddy buddies. So I thought I’d try it again, but with this chia pudding! This recipe is made with chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and Black Sesame Crunchy Butter. I topped it with Oreos, hemp seeds, and a whipped cream panda!

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 can I change up this recipe?

How long does chia seed pudding last for?
Without any toppings (like cut fruit that may brown/spoil quickly, or granola that may get soggy), the chia seed pudding should last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
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.
Different chia pudding flavors
Chia seed pudding is incredibly versatile! You can change the different types of milk, toppings, powders, sweeteners, or spices. Check the list below for some examples and inspiration!

Storing black sesame pudding
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.
You can also freeze the black sesame pudding for up to one month—just make sure you thaw it overnight in the fridge!
