Ingredients
  

For the Pudding Base
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds Substitution: Flax seeds can be used, but be aware the texture will vary.
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder Substitution: Opt for dark or raw cocoa powder for a deeper taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey Substitution: Agave nectar or stevia can be used, but adjust sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Tip: For the best taste, always use pure vanilla extract.
  • 2 cups Almond Milk (or preferred milk) Substitution: Any unsweetened plant-based or dairy milk works perfectly.

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • Plastic wrap or lid

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of chia seeds, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously for about 1 minute until fully blended.
  2. Gradually pour in 2 cups of almond milk (or your preferred milk) while continuing to whisk the mixture for another minute until smooth and creamy.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chill and thicken for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Once set, take the bowl out of the fridge, stir gently, and adjust sweetness if needed. Scoop into bowls or jars and top with your favorite fruits or nuts.
