Smooth Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding Recipe

 a Delicious Recipe for Smooth Chocolate Coconut Chia Pudding Mousse from www.feelingfit.info

Chocolate for breakfast? Yes, I admit sometimes I enjoy this Chocolate Coconut Chia Seed Pudding for breakfast. It seems so decadent, but is actually quite healthy and keeps me satisfied until lunch.

Chocolate chia pudding tastes like a vegan chocolate mousse. Only this chocolate mousse contains healthy superfoods such as chia seeds, raw cacao nibs, coconut milk, etc. It is delicious served with fresh fruit or nuts.

The recipe is easy and involves no cooking. It does require a little advance planning though as the first stage takes a few hours (I start my Chia pudding the night before).

I used Aztec Gold Chia Seeds to make this tasty and nutritious pudding. Chia seeds absorb around 10 times their size in liquid. This allows the crunchy seed to take on a texture similar to a grain of tapioca. I will share a little more information about chia seeds after the recipe…

Here are some of the ingredients for stage one of the chocolate coconut chia pudding. The honey is completely optional, I made it once with honey and once without. It works either way,  depending on your preference.  The cinnamon is also optional.

Chocolate Chia Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

  • Ingredients Stage One:
  • 1 cup coconut or almond milk (I used a mix of both, unsweetened)
  • .25 cup of chia seed
  • 2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • .5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Ingredients Stage Two:
  • Raw cacao nibs
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon cocao powder (optional)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • Fruit and nuts of your choice to layer with the pudding

Instructions

    Instructions Stage One
  1. Put milk (coconut, almond or milk of choice) in a jar. Add cocao powder and cinnamon and mix until smooth.
  2. Add coconut and chia seeds and mix.
  3. Leave to soak overnight (a few hours may be sufficient, I usually do this phase in the evening)
  4. Instructions Stage Two: Using a Blender:
  5. Combine the chia pudding made in stage one with: a handful of cacoa nibs and (optional) shredded coconut, 1 ripe banana broken into 1" portions, optional honey (though it is fine without) and cacao powder.
  6. Blend until smooth. The pudding should have a smooth pudding or mouse texture, however it may be warm from the blender. You may serve or chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Serving suggestions:
  8. Sprinkle raw cacao nibs and unsweetened coconut on top (option may also sprinkle cinnamon). Layer with fruit and or nuts of your choice.

Notes

The chia pudding is ready to eat after stage one if you prefer. At that point, the texture is a little like a tapioca pudding with smaller grains than actual tapioca. For a smooth texture progress to stage two and blend the stage one pudding with a banana. This is wonderful served with fresh or frozen fruit such as strawberries, blueberries and cherries.

Note: the Goldilocks ratio for an overnight chia pudding seems to be 1/4 chia seed to 3/4 liquid. When I tried more, it turned out fine but the seed was swimming in liquid. When I tried less the pudding was too dry. Of course, your miles may vary as it is a matter of preference!

These images demonstrate the early stages of this recipe. I mix the chocolate into the coconut and almond milk then add chia seeds and coconut. I believe this process would also work with dairy milk if that is your preference.

This pudding is fantastic with fresh or frozen fruit such as strawberries, cherries, blueberries. It is also great with nuts. What doesn’t taste wonderful with chocolate? 

I also top the pudding with raw unsweetened cacao nibs and unsweetened shredded coconut. The cacao nibs are bitter, but they have a strong chocolate scent. When included in a bite along with the chia pudding and coconut the nibs taste like a semi-sweet dark chocolate. They do add a little crunch.
