    Ingredients Used

    Ingredients required for chocolate chia pudding
    • Cocoa Powder: Use good quality cocoa powder for a nice chocolate flavour.
    • Maple Syrup: It is one of my favourite ingredients for a good sweetener. Honey can be used instead of maple syrup.
    • Milk: In this recipe, I have used unsweetened almond milk. Choose your favourite milk. Coconut milk, almond milk, or even regular milk works well.
    • Chia Seeds: The main ingredient that gives a creamy, pudding-like consistency.

    How to make Chocolate Chia Pudding?

    It is very simple. Just combine cocoa powder, maple syrup, milk and chia seeds in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Transfer to individual serving glasses if desired. Add toppings of your choice and serve.

    What toppings can be used?

    Any fresh fruits can be used. I have used strawberry, raspberry and banana

    Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings can be used for an added flavour. I personally love biting into chocolate pieces while eating the pudding.

    Desiccated Coconut can be used for a crunch.

    Any seeds or nuts can be used. Sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts, almonds etc can be used.

    Add your favourite nut butter or jam.

    Fresh whipped cream and coconut cream can be added while serving the chia pudding.

    What kind of milk can be used?

    You can make chia seed pudding using any kind of milk. It is totally upto your dietary choices.
    I have used unsweetened almond milk in this recipe. You can use coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk or even regular milk.

    Tips

    Use fresh and good-quality chia seeds. Old chia seeds may not be as effective in forming a pudding-like consistency.

    If you are not a fan of the texture of chia pudding, you can also blend the chia pudding in a high-speed blender. Just add all the ingredients to a blender, blend together, cover and refrigerate for it to set.

    You can also add dates along with milk, blend them into a paste and add it to the chia pudding.

    You can add any nut butter of your choice to this pudding. It can be added along with the main ingredients or as a topping. Peanut butter goes really well with chocolate.
