Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cacao powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

Garnish

  • Raspberries (or other fruit)
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Nuts and seeds

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-size bowl, add the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, milk, and chia seeds. Whisk together thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Initial Gel Time: Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes without stirring to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquid and begin gelling.
  3. Re-Whisk: After 15 minutes, whisk the mixture again to break up any clumps and ensure even distribution of the chia seeds.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours to let the pudding set completely and develop its creamy texture.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Remove the pudding from the fridge and stir gently. Spoon into small dessert glasses and top with your choice of fresh raspberries, chocolate shavings, coconut whipped cream, nuts, and seeds for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk—dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or coconut milk.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, feel free to increase the cacao powder to 3 tablespoons.
  • Chia seed pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor if desired.
