Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and develop flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Once set, spoon the pudding into serving glasses and top with sliced strawberries and a generous drizzle of melted dark chocolate.
Notes

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor contrast.
- Chocolate can be melted gently in a microwave or using a double boiler.
- This pudding can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
- For dairy-free and vegan-friendly dessert, ensure chocolate is dairy-free.
