Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups milk of your choice*
  • 2 ¼ cups chopped strawberries (plus more for garnish)
  • 1¼ cup freeze dried strawberries**
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup (I used sugar-free by Wholesome Yum)
  • 1 cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup sugar free dark chocolate (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Blend milk, 1 cup fresh strawberries, freeze-dried strawberries and maple syrup in a blender until smooth and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in chia seeds. Whisk so there are no clumps of chia seeds and wait until they expand, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer remaining strawberries into the bottom of 5 glass cups or 8 oz ramekins in ¼ cup increments. Pour about 3/4 cup of chia pudding on top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. Only do the next step if the pudding is firm.
  • Once the chia pudding is ready, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30 second increments (about 1 ½ minutes total) stirring, or using a double boiler. Pour about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate onto the top of each portion, gently smoothing it out over top and garnish with extra strawberries.
  • Allow the chocolate to harden in the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For this recipe, I used almond milk but often use coconut or even a combination milk (I like Califia Farms Coconut & Almond Milk or Coconut Milk & Almond Milk blend)
  • The addition of coconut oil makes the chocolate slightly less hard than if there was no oil. This ingredient can be left out but the container should have more surface area so the chocolate is a very thin layer. Regardless, the thinner the layer of chocolate, the easier it will be to break through with a spoon.
**Freeze dried strawberries typically come in .8-1oz bags, the amount in this recipe calls for 1 oz bag.
