A creamy, chocolatey chia pudding bowl topped with fresh berries and nuts, perfect for a healthy and indulgent Valentine’s Day dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate shavings (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (pistachios or almonds)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons chia seeds and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder to distribute the cocoa evenly.
  2. Add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute until smooth.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  5. Prepare toppings by slicing strawberries, measuring raspberries, chopping nuts, and shaving dark chocolate if using.
  6. Once chilled, stir the pudding to fluff it up, spoon into bowls or jars, and top with berries, nuts, and chocolate shavings.
  7. Serve immediately or store refrigerated for up to 2 days. Stir in a splash of almond milk if pudding is too thick before serving.

Notes

If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a tablespoon of almond milk at a time to adjust consistency. For richer texture, coconut milk can be used instead of almond milk. Maple syrup can be substituted with agave or honey (not vegan). Stir the pudding again after 5 minutes of resting to prevent clumps. Chilling overnight improves texture and flavor.
