Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • pinch of sea salt
  • zest of 1/2 orange
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • liquid from a can of chickpeas
  • chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Combine the coconut and almond milk, maple syrup, orange zest + salt into a blender and blend until combined.
  • Add the cacao powder and blend again.
  • Add chia seeds and pulse them in--pulse briefly every 1-2 minutes until the pudding starts to thicken and the seeds remain evenly distributed instead of settling to the bottom (should usually take ~3-4 pulses).
  • Transfer to a jar/container and refrigerate overnight, or at least for 4 hours.
  • Whisk the chickpea liquid for about 3-6 minutes with a hand or stand mixer to get semi-firm peaks.* Pipe them onto the chia pudding and top with chocolate chips!

Notes

  • *You can also add in a little cream of tartar to get the aquafaba to whip up more easily/quickly + to make the peaks firmer!
  • Variations (instead of cacao powder):
    Vanilla: 1 tsp vanilla extract
    Matcha: 1 tsp matcha powder
