Description
Silky Chocolate Chia Pudding delivers pure indulgence with minimal effort. Healthy ingredients blend seamlessly, creating a luxurious dessert you’ll savor spoonful by spoonful.
Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Gather a spacious mixing vessel and combine chia seeds with rich cocoa powder, whisking vigorously until ingredients form a uniform dark mixture.
- Introduce almond milk, pure maple syrup, fragrant vanilla extract, and a delicate salt sprinkle into the bowl, blending with systematic circular motions to eliminate potential clumps and create a silky-smooth composition.
- Seal the container with a secure lid or tight-fitting wrap, then transfer to the refrigerator’s cool interior for a patient resting period of two hours minimum, or ideally overnight, allowing chia seeds to gradually absorb liquid and transform into a luxurious, velvety pudding.
- Upon retrieval, gently agitate the pudding with a spoon to redistribute and break any potential sediment, ensuring a consistent texture throughout.
- Transfer the chilled dessert into elegant serving vessels, embellishing with an artistic arrangement of fresh seasonal fruits, crunchy chopped nuts, or a generous dollop of creamy yogurt to elevate the sensory experience and add complementary layers of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Swap almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk to customize the pudding’s flavor and accommodate different dietary needs.
- Adjust sweetness by experimenting with alternative natural sweeteners like honey, agave, or stevia for personalized taste preferences.
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder to reduce sugar content and create a more intense chocolate experience without extra calories.
- Enhance texture and nutrition by incorporating toppings like sliced almonds, fresh berries, shredded coconut, or chia seed crunch for added depth and visual appeal.
