Good recipe. I added 1/4 cup plain yogurt for added protein.

I liked it. Added plant based half and half, just a splash. Oat milk from the shelf, not refrigerated( twice as much sugar). Cinnamon, Peanut butter, mashed banana. Added blue berries and mixed unsalted nuts. Have to let it sit alittle longer,overnight is perferred, it has more liquid than container calls for . But enjoyed it. I make the choc. version for my husband but not for me. I have t2 diabetes, a sprinkle of sugar free creamer is a game changer. I omit brown sugar, and add only a small amount of honey. But my blood sugar did go way up. So I had to walk about 15 mins. to get it down.

I added a pinch of salt and dash of vanilla as some recommended and they enhanced the flavor. I didn’t use the dried coffee. I did choose to use 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup half & half and it was decadent. This is an easy and delicious treat.

I loved it! Used coconut milk instead of regular milk.

I’ve made this a few times now. It’s always good. I’ve omitted the instant coffee & that was good. I have used oat milk & that was good. With or without the honey drizzle, a little different flavor but still yummy. A healthy alternative for me as a chocoholic! Thank you!

Replaced with coconut sugar, cut the sugar, added vanilla extract and a little salt. You always need a little salt to bring out the chocolate flavor. Also I ground up cacao nibs and add them. I use raw organic cacao powder Oat milk. I quadruple this recipe, it’s too little. This is a low calorie treat. Very filling, great for a snack.

My husband likes this even better than traditional chocolate pudding.

I changed the recipe a bit-used almond milk and real maple syrup since I’m plant based and have cut out processed sugar. I’d definitely make this again with some changes. I’d use coconut milk and blend in my Nutri bullet like I read in a review after making it. It works for my sweet tooth craving.

Wow! I made this omitting the sugar and adding a splash of REAL maple syrup. I also used almond milk and added instant coffee, coconut and crushed pecans. I let it sit over night, then added more milk and cocoa to get it creamy. I also didn’t finish it in one sitting, so after it sat another night, I added more milk and cocoa and liked it even better!! My chia seeds just kept soaking up the moisture making creamy, nutritious deliciousness! So filling and satisfying, I’m making this for life!!!

This was great! I used white sugar instead of brown, but made no other changes. The chocolate flavor wasn’t overpowering, and I enjoyed the texture. Will make again!

I made it with a few adjustments. I’m not a fan of the texture of chia seeds so I blended it with the cocoa powder. I used maple syrup instead of brown sugar and added this along with vanilla essence and milk to the dry ingredients and blended further which helped it to thicken up. I can’t wait to have this for breakfast tomorrow with some sliced strawberries
Mary Porter
Excellent! Made this many time so far and always tastes fantastic. Out of hemp seeds at times but still terrific recipe.
Jeffrey Ferrell
I omitted the coffee and substituted the sugar for agave! Lovely recipe!
Whitney Ramirez
I didn’t add as much sugar and it tasted the same but I added more honey
James Carter
I used maple syrup as a sweetener instead and of honey. Cam out delicious
Tonya Adams
I used stevia and cashew milk then served it over Greek yogurt with fresh fruit! Heavenly!
Steven Mendoza
I used this as a base and it came out fantastic — 16 ounces unsweetened almond cocount milk + 1/2 cup chia seeds , soak overnight. Next day, add 4 packets of Stevia, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 scoop protein powder. Mix in food processor. Divide in bell jars. Top with raspberries and chopped nuts.

I pretty much followed the recipe as-is (didn’t have honey so I subbed for white sugar, since I was also extremely low on brown sugar) and I absolutely love this recipe! I’m not a picky eater by any means and I wasn’t eating this with the thought that it was “health food” (which I think helped, if you think it’s gonna taste gross, it’s gonna taste gross ladies), I just wanted a different chocolate snack and saw this idea on a subreddit I follow. Go ahead, laugh. I actually had no idea that chia was such a super food (when it comes to food trends, yes, I live under a rock) until I googled why this recipe had so many calories! Oddly they’re really high calorie but also nutrient dense so I suppose it is worth the trade-off. It was so tasty to me that I’ve eaten two servings, hope it doesn’t make my stomach mad! Definitely similar to tapioca, yes there is a bit of a crunch, but I still thought it was tasty. Similar to munching on raspberries to me, in fact that’d be a delightful mix in!

I used almond milk instead. I also substituted maple syrup.

I have made this pudding many times with a few variations. I use an organic high quality cacao powder, organic coconut palm sugar, a touch of pure Canadian maple syrup and Dark Chocolate Almond Milk. It really kicks up the chocolate level. I also add chopped walnuts. This makes a great breakfast as well as a dessert. I can really feel an improvement to my energy level with this nutritious food. (my health issues respond favorably to all organic/non GMO).
