Perfect!! I like to use 1/2 c. dairy and 1/2 c. coconut milk from the can and find the ratio of milk to chia seed to cocoa is dead-on perfect. I use only 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar and find for my taste that it's sweet enough. Love what the addition of instant coffee did to deepen the chocolate flavor. I didn't have chocolate covered hemp seed but I do like cocoa nibs and had them so I used them instead. Wonderful chia seed recipe. There are so many out there but this one is my favorite because the ratio of ingredient to ingredient is best and the addition of the instant coffee really does make a difference. Kinda tastes like chocolate frosting with little tiny crunchies from the chia seeds. Delicious!!
Made this with unsweetened almond milk, 2 Tbsp. dark chocolate cocoa powder, and 3 packets of Stevia.
Delicious and relatively healthy! I have made this 3 or 4 times now. One time I used buttermilk and it tasted weird; don't do that.
Welllll…. ive made a super quick version of this : ) Last years when I discovered what chia seeds do when they get wet, I started throwing them into many edible liquids. My favorite 'quick-gotta run' treat to take to lunch at the last minute is milk, chia and heresy's chocolate syrup. I make about 8 oz of chocolate milk in a ziplock round container and add about 2 or 3 tablespoons of chia to it. ( 5 minute intervals) Mix it, let it sit, mix it, let it sit, put lid on and shake vigorously and put in the fridge or lunch cooler. Its great!
I loved it! I replaced regular milk with vanilla almond milk and excluded the chocolate covered hemp seeds because I did not have them. It was delicious without being overly sweet.
I’m trying to manage my blood sugars with diet, and (though I’m sure Chef John would also call truvia a crime against nature) - after 3 weeks with only carbs from vegetables, and no sweets, this was great. No complaints. I topped with a little bit of whipped cream, no chocolate covered hemp seeds; with just the sugar tweak it’s a very nice dessert for someone trying to control blood sugar. Thanks very much, Chef John!
It is unbelievably delicious! I admit that I was not expecting that it would be that good. I made half of the recipe so I could have a good daily portion of chia and used 3 packages of sweetener (Twin sweetener) instead of the sugar. I didn't have the hemp seeds so I didn't use. It is really a healthy recipe to stick to!! I will make it everyday from now on. Thanks for the recipe Chef John!
Very rich and chocolaty. Has a high carb count, but I budgeted for it. Very worth it.
I poured it in to two dessert dishes. It's so rich I was happy with half and saved half for later. Next time I'll use 4 ramekens.
This would be delicious with a little whipped cream on top. Walden Farm make a creamy topping if you can't do real cream. That being said, this dish was very satisfying on its own. Thanks, Chef John!
This recipe is amazing! Even my 9 year old son loves it! I substituted milk with vanilla soy milk and white sugar for honey. I omitted the coffee so the kids could eat it and the hemp seeds because I just didn't have any. My family is addicted to this pudding so I'll be making double batches of this from now on!
Tastes yummy! It's a little runny and needs something to make it thicker. Don't have any suggestions for that.
