Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and cocoa powder until evenly mixed, ensuring the cocoa is well incorporated without lumps.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your choice of milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir briskly to blend all ingredients thoroughly so the chia seeds begin to hydrate evenly.
  3. Let It Sit: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into pudding consistency.
  4. Stir and Serve: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and smooth out the texture. Serve immediately or keep chilled for later.

Notes

  • Use finely ground chia seeds for a smoother pudding texture.
  • Stir the mixture well before chilling to prevent clumps.
  • Experiment with different milk varieties to find your preferred flavor and creaminess.
  • Add sweetener gradually to customize sweetness to taste.
  • For best results, let the pudding set overnight for maximum thickness.
