A yummy and easy pudding for two! Unlike a traditional pudding that’s thickened by slowly cooking egg yolks until they develop a custardy texture, this pudding is thickened with chia seeds, and very little hands-on prep time is required. Along with being a good thickener, chia seeds are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons granular erythritol
• FOR GARNISH (optional):
• Whipped Cream (here)
• Shaved ultra-dark chocolate (about 90% cacao)
1. Place all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture starts to thicken; this will take at least 2 minutes.
2. Pour the pudding into a 2-cup dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish the pudding with whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
Notes:
For a nut-free pudding, you can use unsweetened coconut milk in place of almond milk.
