Ingredients

30 grams chia seeds

30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder

30 grams coconut sugar

1⅔ cups coconut milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Pour the chia seeds into a clean coffee grinder or spice mill and process until they form a fine powder. Transfer the ground chia to a high-powered blender.

  2. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to the blender with the ground chia seeds.

  3. Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes, stirring if needed, until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps or gritty texture.

  4. Divide the chocolate pudding evenly among 6 serving cups or small bowls.

  5. Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the pudding has set to a thick, custard-like consistency. Serve chilled and enjoy.

The stated 65 minutes is misleading—active prep is five minutes, then it sits overnight in the fridge, making this an excellent make-ahead breakfast or dessert for a busy household. Chia seeds, cocoa powder, and vanilla are stocked at every major Charlotte chain; coconut milk and coconut sugar are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger. At roughly $1.50 per serving, cost is very low, driven by the modest quantities of seeds and powder needed. The pudding keeps perfectly for three days refrigerated and requires zero skill or attention once mixed, making it genuinely foolproof for weeknight planning.
