Mexican chocolate chia pudding

eld: 2 servings
Mexican Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
A rich, creamy dairy-free pudding made with chia seeds.
ingredients
  • 1/3 c. chia seeds
  • 1 c. unsweetened almond (or other non-dairy) milk
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup (I used Grade B)
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • pinch of cayenne (optional)
instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Transfer mixture to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth. If pudding is warm from blending, return to refrigerator until chilled. (Alternately, you can just stir the pudding and eat it without blending.)
notes
This pudding is thick, almost like a mousse. If you've blended your pudding and decide you want it a little thinner, add some extra milk. Be sure to blend the pudding until completely smooth--if you don't, it will be gritty! A high-powered blender likeBlendTec works best. Any sweetener you like will work in this, and if 1 tablespoon isn't sweet enough, feel free to add more.
