Description

This Chocolate Chia Pudding Mousse is a dream come true for chocolate lovers! It’s rich, creamy, and naturally sweetened, making it a guilt-free dessert or snack. With just a handful of wholesome ingredients like chia seeds, cocoa powder, and almond milk, this mousse is packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Plus, blending the pudding gives it a silky, mousse-like texture that’s absolutely irresistible. A must-try for anyone craving a healthy chocolate treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt until fully combined.
  • Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to ensure even thickening.
  • Once set, blend the pudding in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth and mousse-like. For an ultra-creamy texture, fold in Greek yogurt before blending.
  • Spoon into serving glasses, top with dark chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs, and enjoy chilled!

Notes

  • No Blender? No Problem! If you don’t blend it, you’ll still have a deliciously thick chia pudding—just not as smooth.
  • Make It Dairy-Free – Skip the Greek yogurt or swap it with coconut yogurt for a plant-based version.
  • Sweeter Option – If you prefer a sweeter dessert, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup before blending.
  • Boost the Flavor – A pinch of espresso powder enhances the chocolate depth beautifully!
