Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Sweeteners:
- 12 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Whisk almond milk, Nutella, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl until completely smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate chia seeds thoroughly, ensuring even distribution throughout the liquid mixture.
- Securely cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the pudding to develop a thick, creamy consistency.
- After chilling, vigorously mix the pudding to break up any potential seed clumps and redistribute the ingredients.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding additional maple syrup.
- Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or an elegant swirl of extra Nutella for enhanced visual appeal and texture.
- Serve immediately while chilled for the most enjoyable pudding experience.
Notes
- Swap almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk to customize the recipe based on dietary preferences or available ingredients.
- For a richer texture, use full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk, creating a more indulgent dessert.
- Reduce Nutella quantity or replace with cocoa powder and additional sweetener for a lower-sugar version that’s still deliciously chocolatey.
- Prep the pudding in individual jars for easy portion control and grab-and-go breakfast or snack options that look Instagram-worthy.
