• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

2. 2Stir in the chia seeds and mix thoroughly to prevent clumping.
3. 3Gently swirl in the dulce de leche so it creates a marbled effect (don’t fully mix it in). 🍮
4. 4Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. 🕰️❄️
5. 5When ready to serve, scoop into bowls or jars, drizzle extra dulce de leche on top, and add fresh fruit if you’d like. 🍓🍌
