Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or more as needed

  • cup chia seeds

  • ¼ cup cashews

  • 5 tablespoons cacao nibs, divided

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Combine almond milk, chia seeds, cashews, 2 tablespoons cacao nibs, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon, in a high-speed blender. Blend until well combined, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in 1 tablespoon cacao nibs and pour into individual bowls. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight. Mixture will thicken as it chills.

  2. Sprinkle pudding with remaining cacao nibs before serving.

Cook's Notes:

You can use honey instead of maple syrup to sweeten, although the chia pudding is then no longer vegan.

Pudding will keep covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
