About this recipe
No baking, no cooking, just a few ingredients and an air-tight container. Oh, and a bit of patience because this pudding tastes best if you leave it overnight. But it’s so delicious that I bet it won’t take you long to add making a chia chocolate pudding to your routine!
You can store the pudding for 3-4 days in the fridge. You’ll have to play around with the ingredients to figure out your favourite version. I actually add 3 tbsp of cocoa powder because I like it super chocolaty. But if you still eat sugar or artificial sweeteners this might taste a bit bitter to you. And now drumroll please for my favourite dessert!
Chia Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients
- 2.5 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 250 ml milk any milk or nut milk you like
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 banana
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Put the cocoa powder straight into the storage container you want to keep the chia pudding in. Add about two tablespoons of milk and mix the powder in thoroughly with a spoon to avoid any lumps.
- Once you have a thick paste, add the salt. Then mash up your banana and add it to the mix too. Stir well.
- Add the rest of the milk and again stir it well.
- Now add the chia seeds. Use a fork to stir them in.
- REALLY IMPORTANT: leave it to rest for 2 minutes, then come back and stir again! Break up any chia lumps.
- Put on the lid and leave your pudding in the fridge overnight.
Variations
Vegan
Use the nut milk or oatmilk of your choice. You might have to use a bigger and/or riper banana for sweetness and experiment with the amount of chia seeds you add to make it less watery.
Keto
Try it with whole milk or even whipped cream and the artificial sweetener of your choice. Experiment with the amount of chia seeds to make sure your pudding is not too thick.
Warm Version
When it’s getting colder outside a cold chocolate pudding might not sound so appetizing. Well, great news! You can heat up a portion in a non-stick skillet or even a pan. Heat it up at low heat and keep stirring or it will burn. Enjoy!
