– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk: Or any plant-based milk of your choice. – 1/2 cup chia seeds: These will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture. – 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder: Adds a deep chocolate flavor
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder and chia seeds until well combined. This step ensures that the cocoa powder is evenly distributed and helps prevent clumping.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or jar, mix the almond milk, coconut milk, maple syrup (or agave nectar), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly coated and the cocoa powder is fully incorporated.
Let It Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, then give it another good stir to break up any clumps. This will help the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
Refrigerate and Set: Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or individual serving jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully expand and the pudding to set to a creamy consistency.
