Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding.
- Serve: Once set, spoon the pudding into serving glasses and top with sliced fresh strawberries. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the top to add a decadent chocolate cover.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat almond milk to enhance creaminess.
- The pudding can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup.
- To melt dark chocolate, use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler to avoid burning.
- This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
