Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- First Rest: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to prevent chia seeds from clumping together.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to swell and the pudding to thicken.
- Serve: Once the pudding has set, spoon it into serving glasses and top with sliced strawberries and drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an elegant finish.
Notes
- For best texture, do not skip the initial 10-minute rest and whisk step to avoid clumping.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk if preferred.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup.
- For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts or granola as toppings.
- Make sure the melted chocolate is cooled slightly before drizzling to prevent melting the pudding.
