This Chocolate Chia Pudding is a creamy, delicious, and wholesome vegan dessert or breakfast option made with plant-based ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups plant-based milk (about 480 ml)
  • ½ cup chia seeds (about 74 g)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (about 21 g)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (about 85 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or paste)

Optional Toppings

  • plant-based yogurt
  • shaved dark chocolate
  • raspberries

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the plant-based milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed for 10 to 15 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Divide Mixture: Pour the blended mixture evenly into 4 jars or small bowls, ensuring equal portions for serving.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the jars or bowls and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Once set, top the pudding with optional plant-based yogurt, shaved dark chocolate, and fresh raspberries if desired. Serve chilled for a refreshing and nutritious treat.

Notes

  • Use any plant-based milk of your choice, such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk.
  • For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to ⅔ cup.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with agave, honey (if not vegan), or other liquid sweeteners.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruits.
  • This pudding keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
