Ingredients
  

Chocolate Chia Pudding
  • 2 cups Milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds fresh
  • 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder sifted
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
Optional Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Berries optional
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Walnuts optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Storage Containers
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds evenly. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumps and improve texture.
  3. Divide into storage containers, leaving space for toppings if desired.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick, creamy, and fully set.
  5. Serve chilled with berries and walnuts. Stir in extra milk before serving for a softer consistency if preferred.

Notes

For a softer texture, stir in extra milk before serving. Chill longer for a thicker consistency. Freeze individual portions without toppings and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings just before serving for the best assembly and texture. Customize with cinnamon, banana, peanut butter, or espresso powder. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
