Chocolate chia seed pudding

Indulge in a rich and healthy treat with this Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding. This easy-to-make dessert or breakfast option combines the creaminess of almond milk, the nutrient-packed chia seeds, and the delightful taste of cocoa and maple syrup. Perfect for those who love a sweet start to their day or a guilt-free dessert!

Ingredients:

1.50 cup almond milk
360g
3 tbsp chia seeds
36g
1/4 cup dry cocoa powder
22g
2 tbsp maple syrup
40g

Instructions:

1. Gather Ingredients: Ensure you have all the ingredients mentioned above: almond milk, chia seeds, dry cocoa powder, and maple syrup.
2. Combine Cocoa and Maple Syrup: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the dry cocoa powder and the maple syrup. Whisk together until they form a smooth paste. This helps to ensure that the cocoa powder dissolves evenly and doesn't form lumps.
3. Add Almond Milk: Gradually pour in the almond milk while continuing to whisk. This will further smooth out the mixture and incorporate the cocoa paste with the almond milk completely.
4. Incorporate Chia Seeds: Add the chia seeds to the liquid mixture. Stir thoroughly to make sure the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
5. Stir and Mix: After mixing, let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes. Then, give it another good stir to ensure the seeds are well-dispersed and none have settled at the bottom.
6. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving containers with lids. Place it in the refrigerator to chill and set overnight, or for at least 6 hours. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like texture.
7. Stir Before Serving: Before serving, give the pudding one last stir to ensure it's creamy and well-mixed.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pudding chilled as is, or top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for added decadence.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, blend the mixture before refrigerating.

- Experiment with different non-dairy milks like coconut or soy milk for a unique flavor.

- Top with fresh berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste.

- Store the pudding in individual servings for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

With just a few simple steps and minimal ingredients, you can prepare a delicious and nutritious chocolate chia seed pudding. It's a perfect blend of flavors and textures that will satisfy your sweet tooth while providing essential nutrients. Enjoy this pudding chilled for a refreshing treat that feels indulgent yet healthy.
