Ingredients
Chocolate Chia Pudding
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Vigorously whisk the coconut milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl or storage container, making sure to scrape and incorporate any cocoa powder stuck to the sides and bottom for a smooth mixture.
- Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl or container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the pudding to chill and thicken until creamy, which takes at least 4 hours but is best if left overnight.
- Serve: Stir the chilled pudding well before dividing it into two servings. Optionally, garnish with fresh coconut whipped cream and berries for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a sweeter pudding, add more maple syrup according to your taste.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer texture.
- The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder for additional flavor variations.
