This Chocolate Chia Pudding with Coconut Milk is creamy, rich, and naturally dairy-free. Made with carton coconut milk, cocoa powder, and chia seeds, it has a smooth, creamy texture and can be enjoyed for breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Add the chia seeds, cocoa powder, plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt to a jar or shallow bowl.
Whisk or stir very well until the cocoa powder is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
Pour in the coconut milk and whisk to combine.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir once more. This helps prevent the chia seeds from sinking to the bottom and prevents clumping.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
Stir the pudding before serving then top with desired toppings!
Notes
This recipe is tested with carton coconut milk, which creates a creamy but spoonable pudding. Using canned coconut milk will result in a much thicker, mousse-like texture.
Makes 2 large servings or 3-4 smaller servings.
