Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
Flavor and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Topping Ingredients:
- Dark chocolate shavings
- Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or bananas)
- Coconut flakes
- Nuts or granola
Instructions
- Gather a mixing vessel like a bowl or mason jar to combine chia seeds, almond milk, rich cocoa powder, sweet maple syrup, aromatic vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk the ingredients with vigor, ensuring a smooth, homogeneous mixture without any dry pockets or lumps.
- Allow the mixture to rest for a brief interval of 5 minutes, then revisit with another thorough stirring to prevent any potential seed clustering.
- Seal the container and transfer to the refrigerator, letting the pudding transform and thicken for a minimum of two hours, though overnight yields the most luxurious texture.
- Prior to serving, give the pudding a final gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients and create a consistent creamy consistency.
- Embellish with your preferred toppings such as fresh berries, sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup to elevate the dessert’s visual appeal and flavor profile.
Notes
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer, less sweet chocolate flavor and lower sugar content.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut, oat, or cashew milk to discover unique taste profiles and textures.
- Adjust the maple syrup quantity based on personal sweetness preference, starting with less and gradually adding more to control sugar intake.
- Whisk thoroughly during initial mixing to ensure chia seeds are evenly distributed and prevent lumpy pudding texture.
