Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 6-8 dates
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds

Method
 

  1. Place all ingredients: almond milk, cacao powder, maple syrup, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, dates, and chia seeds into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all dates and chia seeds are fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the rich chocolate mixture into 4-6 individual jars or ramekins.
  4. Cover each container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
  5. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, allowing the chia seeds to work their magic and thicken the pudding.
  6. Serve chilled, optionally with toppings like sliced bananas, coconut whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts. Enjoy!

Notes

– For an extra smooth pudding, ensure your blender is powerful enough to fully break down the dates and chia seeds.
– If you prefer a less sweet pudding, reduce the maple syrup slightly; the dates add natural sweetness.
– Storage: Keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
