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
  • 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Shavings optional
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Bananas optional

  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Storage Jars
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
  2. Stir in chia seeds thoroughly. Rest for 10 minutes, then stir again to eliminate clumps and improve texture.
  3. Pour the mixture into jars or containers, leaving room for optional toppings.
  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight until thick, creamy, and fully set.
  5. Serve chilled with chocolate shavings or banana slices. Stir in extra milk before serving if you prefer a softer consistency.

Notes

For a softer texture, add a splash of milk before serving. Chill longer for thicker pudding. Freeze individual portions without toppings for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for the best assembly and texture. Customize with cinnamon, peanut butter, berries, or espresso powder. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
