To make chia pudding with apricot and milk, stir chia seeds into milk, refrigerate until thick, then fold in chopped apricot. Stir the mixture again shortly after combining so the seeds do not settle into a dense layer.
Chia pudding with apricot and milk needs at least a few hours in the refrigerator to set, though leaving it overnight gives the seeds more time to absorb the milk. It is ready when the mixture has a spoonable, gel-like texture.
Yes, dried apricots work in chia pudding with apricot and milk. Chop them finely so they are easy to eat, and allow time for them to soften in the milk; they will make the pudding taste sweeter than fresh apricots.
Chia pudding with apricot and milk is often runny because it has not chilled long enough or contains too much milk for the chia seeds. Stir it again, add a little more chia if needed, and refrigerate until it thickens.
Dairy milk works well in chia pudding with apricot and milk, and lactose-free dairy milk can also be used. Whichever you choose, mix it thoroughly with the chia seeds; a thicker milk may give the pudding a richer texture.
Yes, chia pudding with apricot and milk is convenient to prepare the night before. Mix the chia seeds and milk, cover and refrigerate; add fresh apricot just before serving if you want it to keep its texture.
Chia pudding with apricot and milk keeps for about two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Fresh apricot can soften and release juice as it sits, so the pudding is best eaten sooner rather than later.
You can freeze chia pudding with apricot and milk, but the texture may become watery or uneven after thawing. For the best consistency, refrigerate it instead and add fresh apricot close to serving.
No, you do not need to cook apricots for chia pudding with apricot and milk. Use ripe fresh fruit chopped into small pieces, or soften dried apricots in the milk before mixing them into the pudding.
Yes, blending chia pudding with apricot and milk makes it smoother and distributes the apricot throughout. Blend the finished pudding for an even texture, or blend only the milk and fruit first if you want to keep some chia seeds whole.

Chia pudding with apricot and milk is made by soaking chia seeds in milk until they swell and thicken, then adding apricot for sweetness and fruitiness. Chia seeds come from a plant native to Mexico and Central America; this pudding is a modern, widely enjoyed way to serve them, especially at breakfast or as a snack.
The texture is softly set and spoonable, with tiny seeds that retain a slight bite. Serve it chilled, on its own or topped with extra apricot and other fruit. It offers fibre and plant-based omega-3; each 100 g provides 4.8 g of fibre. For a less sweet bowl, use unsweetened milk and let ripe apricot bring most of the flavour.
