Why You’ll Love Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
This Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding will be your weekday 🌞 breakfast hero. Nothing comes together as quickly as a chia seed pudding does. It’s a wonderful make ahead and I love it because I really customize the flavors. The base recipe is the same, but I can do fruit one day, chocolate the next and a day just plain and simple. It’s so satisfyingly creamy and luscious and so deliciously 🍫 chocolatey.
How to Prepare Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
🫙 Start by adding the chia seeds, maple syrup and cacao to a glass or mason jar. 🥄 Now, add the milk and whisk really well, wait 5 minutes for it to thicken and then stir again to prevent clumping. ❄️ Refrigerate until it thickens (from 4 hours to overnight) and becomes pudding-like consistency. 🍁 Once it’s firmed up, top it off with additional sweetener and then add any toppings you enjoy.
