Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 0.5 cup Cacao powder
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Stevia
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften them.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds. Place them in a blender with 2 cups of water and blend on high until smooth to create almond milk.
Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth into a bowl to remove the pulp, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. You should have about 2 cups of fresh almond milk.
In a clean blender, combine the fresh almond milk, cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract, salt, and stevia.
Blend on high speed until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the blended mixture into a medium-sized bowl and stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the chia seeds have expanded and the dessert has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
Once set, stir the dessert to ensure even consistency and distribute the chia seeds evenly.
Serve the chilled almond chocolate dessert in small cups or bowls. Optionally, garnish with a few chopped almonds or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for added texture.
