Chocolate Chia Pudding Mousse
Description
The recipe blends dairy-free milk with chia seeds, cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. The chia seeds absorb liquid and swell during chilling, creating a mousse texture that is thicker than classic pudding. The use of cacao powder imparts a deep chocolate flavor balanced by natural sweetness from maple syrup and vanilla.
Once blended and chilled at least four hours, the pudding sets well for a luscious consistency. Serving the mousse with coconut whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and chopped nuts adds complementary textures and layers of flavor, making a satisfying plant-based dessert.
To maintain the correct texture, avoid halving the recipe as the blender quantity is limited. It can be scaled up for larger groups if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 cup dairy-free milk
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cacao powder or cocoa powder

Instructions

Notes
