How to make chocolate chia pudding

You can make chocolate chia pudding with or without a bender. As I am using dates as the natural sweetener and I want to distribute the flavor of the almonds evenly I used a blender.

However, you can decide to not blend the pudding at all. It only requires a few steps to make this basic chia pudding recipe.

Start by slicing the dates into small pieces. Put the unsweetened almond milk in the blender and add the diced dates.

When combined add the cacao powder and let the blender whisk.

Now it is time to add the chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the ingredients on low speed for about 1 minute.

The ingredients will become slightly thick. Pour the chocolate chia pudding in glasses and cover with cling film.

Put in the fridge to set overnight. Decorate with a tablespoon of quark, slices of banana, fresh raspberries or blueberries.

If you do not want to blend either chop the dates up finely or buy some date powder to substitute the dates. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

Pour in a glass cover with cling film and let it sit overnight. You will see how the chia seeds absorb the liquid from the almond when you do not use your blender.

Fruit makes the flavors come out of this basic chia pudding even more. Take a look which fruits you can use in this recipe:

Banana – everything tastes better with banana so slice up a banana and put on top of you pudding
