Chocolate & Chia Seed Pudding
INGREDIENTS
- 360 ml of unsweetened Almond milk
- 63 g of chia seeds or organic chia seeds
- 24g of cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 30-75 ml of maple syrup if not blending (can sub 5-9 dates, pitted if blending)
- ½ tsp. of ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ tsp. of sea salt or normal salt
- ½ tsp. of vanilla extract (optional)
method
Add all ingredients except for sweetener to a mixing bowl, and whisk vigorously to combine.
If the ingredients are not blending (which is preferred!), sweeten to taste with maple syrup at this time.
If the ingredients are blending, you can sweeten later with maple syrup or dates.
Let rest, covered in the fridge overnight or at least 3-5 hours (or until it’s achieved a pudding-like consistency).
If the ingredients are blending, add to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy, scrape down sides as necessary. Sweeten to taste.
For leftovers, keep covered in the fridge for and no more than 2-3 days, though best when fresh.
Serve chilled with desired toppings, such as fruit, granola or coconut whipped cream.
