If you are like me, you might be skeptical about healthy desserts that use hidden veggies. This chocolate chia pudding is different because it actually tastes like a genuine treat without any odd flavors. It is much easier to whip up than a traditional custard, and it has become my favorite way to satisfy a sweet craving.

You only need four main ingredients to get started. Once you stir everything together and let it sit in the fridge, the chia seeds soak up the liquid to create a wonderful pudding texture. It is a fantastic option for a quick breakfast or a light evening dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup to a medium bowl or a large jar.

  2. 2

    Whisk the mixture well until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and there are no large lumps remaining.

  3. 3

    Stir in the chia seeds until they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.

  4. 4

    Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight until it reaches a thick pudding consistency.

  5. 5

    Give the pudding a good stir before serving to ensure the texture is consistent.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. You can top your pudding with fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a dollop of coconut cream to make it feel extra special.
