Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Combine the chia seeds, milk, half of your sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk thoroughly to prevent clumping. Let this mixture sit for five minutes, then whisk again.
  2. Cover your chia pudding base and refrigerate for at least four hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Once your chia pudding has fully set, transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip your cold cream with the remaining sweetener until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the blended chia mixture using a spatula.
  6. Divide your chia pudding mousse into serving glasses or jars. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Don't skip the blending step for a smooth texture. Taste and adjust sweetness before folding in whipped cream.
