Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate (vegan), chopped (optional, for topping)
- Fresh berries or fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl or mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Whisk well to ensure there are no clumps of cocoa powder and that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the mason jar with its lid.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Stir or shake the mixture after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
Before serving, give the pudding another stir to ensure a smooth consistency.
Divide the pudding evenly between two bowls or glasses.
Top with chopped vegan dark chocolate and fresh berries or fruit, if desired.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
