Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup chia seeds Ensure they are fresh for maximum absorption
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder Or cacao powder
  • 1 ½ cups almond milk Unsweetened, slightly warm preferred
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup Adjust to desired sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pure extract preferred
  • 1 pinch salt To enhance the chocolate flavor
  • 2 tablespoon whipped cream Or coconut cream, for garnish
  • 6 whole fresh raspberries For garnish

Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender Essential for creating a silky smooth texture
  • 2 Glass mason jars For portioning and storage
  • 1 Rubber spatula For scraping the blender clean

Method
 

  1. Add the almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt directly into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and the chia seeds are pulverized.
  3. Stop the blender halfway through to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to ensure no seeds are left whole.
  4. Pour the smooth chocolate liquid evenly into two small glass mason jars to prepare them for chilling.
  5. Seal the jars tightly with lids and refrigerate overnight so the pudding thickens and sets into a mousse texture.
  6. Remove the chilled jars from the fridge in the morning and top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
  7. Arrange fresh raspberries directly on top of the cream to provide a bright, tart contrast before serving immediately.

Notes

Blend the mixture on the highest speed for at least 60 seconds; this is crucial to pulverize the chia seed casings and create a completely smooth, pudding-like texture rather than a bumpy one.
