Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- Dark chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well integrated and no dry cocoa powder clumps remain.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- When ready to serve, place the frozen cherries in a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse and blend until the cherries transform into a smooth, creamy "nice cream" texture.
- Remove the chia pudding from the refrigerator and give it a quick stir to ensure even consistency.
- In serving glasses or bowls, create layers by alternating spoonfuls of the chocolate chia pudding and cherry nice cream.
- Garnish the top with dark chocolate shavings, creating an elegant and indulgent finish.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature, or chill for an additional 15 minutes if desired.
Tips
- Chill Time is Key: For the best results, allow the chia pudding to refrigerate overnight. This ensures the chia seeds fully absorb the almond milk, resulting in a smooth, pudding-like consistency that enhances the overall texture.
- Blend for Creaminess: When making the cherry nice cream, ensure your cherries are fully blended until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse them a few times instead of blending continuously.
- Layer It Up: For a stunning presentation, layer the chocolate chia pudding and cherry nice cream in clear glasses. This not only looks beautiful but also allows each spoonful to deliver a delightful mix of flavors.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Consider adding nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
- Serve Fresh: For the best experience, serve the dessert immediately after layering. If you need to prepare it in advance, chill it for an additional 15 minutes before serving to maintain the nice cream's perfect consistency.
