Simple, 6-ingredient chocolate chia seed pudding that's naturally sweetened and so thick and creamy.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) Almond Breeze Almond milk Original Unsweetened or fresh non-dairy milk
• 1/3 cup (63 g) chia seeds
• 1/4 cup (24 g) cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2-5 Tbsp (30-75 ml) maple syrup if not blending (can sub 5-9 dates, pitted, if blending)
• optional: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients except sweetener to a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously to combine. If not blending (which I preferred!), sweeten to taste with maple syrup at this time. If blending, you can sweeten later with maple syrup or dates.

2. Let rest covered in the fridge overnight or at least 3-5 hours (or until it's achieved a pudding-like consistency).

3. If blending, add to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Sweeten to taste.

4. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 2-3 days, though best when fresh.

5. Serve chilled with desired toppings, such as fruit, granola, or coconut whipped cream.
