Chocolate Chia Pudding
Description
This Chocolate Chia Pudding starts with moist coconut milk and cashew milk combined with cacao powder for chocolate flavor. Maple syrup adds sweetness while a touch of salt enhances depth. Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor profile. The mixture is blended to evenly distribute ingredients before chia seeds are folded in. The blend is poured into jars and chilled, allowing the chia seeds to swell and thicken the pudding to a creamy consistency.
The texture is smooth with slight bursts from the soaked chia seeds, offering a soft, pudding-like mouthfeel. This preparation requires no cooking and is easily made ahead, gaining richer texture after several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. It can be eaten directly from jars, making it a practical option for individual portions.
Using a blender helps incorporate the separated coconut cream fully, ensuring a uniform chocolate base. The pudding keeps well refrigerated and can be customized by adjusting sweetness or adding toppings such as nuts or fruit if desired.
Ingredients
- 14 oz coconut milk 1 can
- ½ cup cashew milk or other nut milk, or dairy milk

Instructions
