Description
This 5-minute chocolate chia seed pudding is creamy, rich, and no-cook—made with cocoa, chia seeds, milk, and vanilla. Sweeten to taste and top however you love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or any other milk of your choice)
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- berries and shredded coconut toppings (or any other toppings of your choice)
Instructions
1️⃣ Whisk the dry ingredients first
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and cocoa powder. This step helps the cocoa disperse evenly and prevents clumps later.
2️⃣ Add milk gradually for a smooth base
Slowly pour in half of the milk and whisk until smooth. Add the remaining milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk thoroughly for 30–60 seconds, scraping the sides and bottom to fully incorporate everything.
3️⃣ Rest, then whisk again
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any chia clumps and ensure an even texture.
4️⃣ Chill until thickened
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the pudding thickens to a creamy, spoonable consistency.
5️⃣ Stir and finish with toppings
Stir before serving. Top with fresh berries, banana slices, chopped nuts, and/or shredded coconut.
