Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice) Substitutions can include oat milk or coconut milk.
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled) Make sure the coffee is cooled before mixing.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix everything evenly.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, brewed coffee, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the chia seeds are coated and evenly distributed.
  4. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, and then give it another good stir to help prevent clumping.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the pudding into individual serving cups, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding reaches your desired thickness.
  6. Once the pudding is set, serve it chilled with your choice of toppings—fresh fruits, nuts, or even a dusting of cocoa powder.

Notes

Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This pudding is served chilled and does not need reheating.
