Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Rest and Whisk Again: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and swell, then whisk again thoroughly to prevent any clumping of seeds.
- Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the pudding thicken to the desired consistency.
- Serve with Toppings: Once set, transfer the pudding into serving glasses, top with fresh sliced strawberries, and drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- For a smoother texture, blend the chia pudding mixture before refrigerating.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture contrast.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Dark chocolate can be tempered or gently melted in a microwave or double boiler for a smooth drizzle.
