Chocolate Chia Pudding
Description
This Chocolate Chia Pudding blends coconut milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a chilled pudding. The chia seeds expand to create a creamy yet slightly textured pudding, with cocoa powder providing a chocolatey depth and maple syrup adding subtle sweetness. The recipe involves whisking the ingredients together thoroughly before refrigerating until set, usually overnight. The pudding can be served as a light dessert or snack, enhanced with toppings like coconut whip cream and fresh berries for extra flavor and texture contrast.
Chia pudding stores well in airtight containers in the refrigerator for several days, making it convenient for prep ahead or leftovers. It also freezes well in individual portions, which can be thawed slowly in the fridge. Substitutions for milk and sweetener are flexible, though coconut milk and maple syrup offer balance and creaminess in this version.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Vigorously whisk the milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a medium bowl or storage container, being careful to incorporate any cocoa powder sticking to the sides and bottom.
- Cover the chia pudding and refrigerate until thick and creamy, at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Give it a good stir and divide into two servings. Enjoy with fresh coconut whip cream and berries, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, best within 5 days.
- You can freeze chia pudding for up to 3 months in individual portions; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
- Chia seeds are commonly found at grocery stores near grains or oatmeal sections.
- Substitutes for coconut milk include other plant-based or regular milk; maple syrup can be replaced with honey, agave, or sugar.
- Using mini tulip jelly jars allows easy portioning and topping space for accompaniments like whipped cream and berries.
