I baked this Vegan Chocolate Chia Pudding for my friend’s dinner party last weekend. The chia set thick with rich cocoa, and my sister said it was filling.
Decadent Vegan Chocolate Chia Pudding
This vegan chocolate chia pudding is prepared by combining chia seeds, cocoa powder, almond milk, and a sweetener of your choice. It thickens overnight in the refrigerator, making it an easy and convenient dessert that serves 4.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh berries or shredded coconut for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds until they are fully submerged in the liquid mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Serve: Once thickened, stir the pudding to ensure an even consistency. Divide it into serving bowls or jars and top with fresh berries or shredded coconut, if desired.
