Description

A soothing dessert that combines creamy chocolate flavor with the health benefits of chia seeds.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 cup almond milk or other non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Using a whisk, gently stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until everything is well-combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least one hour.
  4. After one hour, give it a good stir to break up any clumps and let it rest for another hour or overnight for the best texture.
  5. When ready to serve, add a splash of almond milk for a smoother consistency, stir, and garnish with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a richer flavor, let the pudding sit overnight. You can also enhance the chocolate flavor with a dash of espresso powder.
