Overnight Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

By GuidingVegan

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 cups Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original Unsweetened
• 1/3 1/3 1/3 cup chia seeds
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2-5 2-5 5-9 Tbsp maple syrup if not blending (can sub 5-9 dates, pitted if blending)
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 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.

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

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

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

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