Ingredients
  

For the Pudding Base
  • 1 piece Ripe Banana Use spotty bananas for the sweetest flavor and creamy texture.
  • 0.5 cup Cottage Cheese Adds richness and protein; swap with silken tofu for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Almond Milk This is your creamy liquid base; feel free to substitute with any preferred dairy or non-dairy milk.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup A natural sweetener; adjust the amount to suit your taste buds.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; opt for pure vanilla for an aromatic experience.
For the Thickening
  • 0.25 cup Chia Seeds These tiny seeds create the pudding’s luscious texture; ensure not to pack them when measuring.
For the Topping
  • 4-6 pieces Vanilla Wafers They provide a delightful crunch reminiscent of traditional banana cream pie.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine one ripe banana, ½ cup of cottage cheese (or silken tofu), 1 cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
  2. Pour the banana mixture into a jar or medium-sized bowl. Add ¼ cup of chia seeds and stir vigorously for one minute to fully incorporate them into the pudding.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes at room temperature. After 5 minutes, give it another good stir to ensure even distribution of chia seeds.
  4. Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Chill the pudding for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
  5. Before serving, crush 4-6 vanilla wafers into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the pudding.
  6. Scoop the pudding into individual bowls or jars, giving each a final delicate sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers. Serve chilled.

Notes
