Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Base
- 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
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined and uniform in texture.
- Rest Mixture: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to prevent any chia seeds from clumping together.
- Chill Pudding: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
- Assemble and Serve: Once the pudding has set, spoon it into serving glasses or bowls, top with fresh sliced strawberries, and drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an elegant finish.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk if preferred.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup quantity.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top before serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
