Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dates - Start by pitting the Medjool dates if they aren’t already pitted. Place the dates in your blender or food processor.
  2. Step 2: Blend the Base - Add 1 cup of cold milk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blender with the dates. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Combine with Chia Seeds - In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds with the chocolate mixture. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
  4. Step 4: Let It Set - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to thicken the pudding.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir, portion into cups or jars, and top with fruits, nuts, or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Prep the pudding up to 3 days in advance and store in an airtight container.
  • Portion into individual servings for easy access.
  • Top with fruits or nuts just before serving for freshness.
