Description

This Chocolate Raspberry Chia Pudding is a luscious, creamy, and nutritious dessert or breakfast option that combines homemade cashew milk with rich cocoa, sweet Medjool dates, fresh raspberries, and nutrient-packed chia seeds. The recipe involves making two separate chia puddings—one chocolate and one raspberry—that are then layered together to create a visually appealing and flavorful treat. It is perfect for those seeking a dairy-free, naturally sweetened, and wholesome snack or meal prep option.

Ingredients

Cashew Milk

  • 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour, then drained
  • 2 cups water

    • Chocolate Chia Pudding

    • 1 cup homemade cashew milk
    • 3 Medjool dates, pitted
    • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
    • 1/4 cup chia seeds
    • 1 tbsp cacao nibs (optional, but highly recommended)

      • Raspberry Chia Pudding

      • 3/4 cup cashew milk
      • 1 cup raspberries
      • 1 tbsp maple syrup
      • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the cashew milk: Blend the soaked and drained raw cashews with 2 cups of fresh water in a high-speed blender until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, creating homemade cashew milk.
  2. Prepare the chocolate chia pudding: In the blender, combine 1 cup of the homemade cashew milk, Medjool dates, cocoa powder, and vanilla bean paste. Blend until completely smooth. Pour this mixture into a bowl or jar, then stir in the chia seeds and cacao nibs until evenly distributed. Cover and place in the refrigerator to set for at least one hour or overnight for best results.
  3. Prepare the raspberry chia pudding: Blend 3/4 cup of the cashew milk with fresh raspberries and maple syrup until smooth. Pour the blended mixture into a separate bowl or jar, and mix in the chia seeds thoroughly. Refrigerate this mixture for at least one hour or overnight to allow it to thicken.
  4. Assemble and serve: Once both puddings have set, layer the chocolate chia pudding and the raspberry chia pudding alternately into small jars or cups. Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries on top before serving for an added burst of freshness and color.

Notes

  • Soaking cashews softens them for smoother cashew milk; ensure you soak them in hot water for about 1 hour.
  • Allowing chia puddings to set overnight enhances texture and flavor.
  • Cacao nibs add a pleasant crunch and slight bitterness that balances the sweetness.
  • You can adjust sweetener amounts according to taste or dietary needs.
  • This recipe is naturally dairy-free and vegan friendly, suitable for many dietary preferences.
