Notes

  • Use the right ratio — too much milk makes it runny, too little makes it too thick.
  • Don’t skip chilling time — this is what gives it that creamy, set texture.
  • Stir well before chilling — this prevents chia clumps and uneven texture.
  • This recipe makes 2 x 8 oz mason jars (perfect single servings) or 1 x 16 oz jar, which works well if you want to divide it over a couple of days or just prefer a larger portion.
