Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup Chia Seeds
- 1 cup Milk whole
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a deep bowl, combine the chia seeds, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent clumping. The mixture might appear slightly foamy initially, but this will subside as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
- Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid. Whisk again to ensure even hydration and prevent clumps from forming. Let it rest for another 5 minutes.
- Continue whisking the pudding at 2–3 minute intervals until the mixture thickens and reaches a pudding-like consistency. This helps ensure the chia seeds hydrate evenly and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to fully set. Chilling enhances the flavors and creates the perfect creamy texture.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can substitute the 2 tablespoons of sugar with honey or palm sugar.
- For a lower-calorie version, use skimmed milk or low-fat milk instead of whole milk.
Expert Tips
- For a creamier texture, let the chia seeds soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Customize your pudding with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, granola, or nuts.
- To avoid clumping, whisk the chia seeds and milk together vigorously before letting them soak.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
