chocolate chia seed pudding recipe
- Total Time: 22 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegan, Gluten-Free
Description
This easy, healthy chia seed pudding recipe creates a rich and creamy snack or breakfast. It features a deep dark chocolate base complemented by a vibrant raspberry swirl, perfect for meal prep and satisfying dessert cravings without excess sugar.
Ingredients
- Pudding Base:
- 1.5 cups unsweetened plant-based milk
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Raspberry Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Garnish:
- 4–6 whole fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate Pudding Base: In a medium bowl, combine the plant-based milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, 0.25 cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again briefly to prevent clumps. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully thickened.
- Make Raspberry Ribbon Sauce: Combine the raspberries, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes until the raspberries break down into a sauce. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl to remove seeds, then set aside to cool completely.
- Assemble Layered Puddings: Spoon approximately one-third of the thickened chocolate pudding into the bottom of two clear serving glasses. Add a generous spoonful of the cooled raspberry sauce on top, and gently swirl it in with a skewer or spoon tip. Repeat the layering process, finishing with a final layer of chocolate pudding.
- Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the assembled puddings for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set. Before serving, garnish with an additional drizzle of raspberry sauce and a few whole fresh raspberries.
Notes
To achieve the best consistency, ensure you whisk the chia pudding base thoroughly in two steps, separated by a 5-minute pause. Adequate chilling time (at least 4 hours) is essential for the pudding to set properly. Assembled puddings hold their shape best if chilled for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
