These pops are uber-fudgy, thanks to a combo of chia seeds and cocoa powder. If you don’t have the patience to wait for the frozen version-no problem, the pudding is just as delicious.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups 2-percent milk
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons light agave nectar
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the milk, chocolate, cocoa powder, agave and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until the chocolate melts and the cocoa dissolves, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in the chia seeds and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture until chilled and the chia seeds are plumped, about 1 hour more, stirring halfway through.
- Divide the mixture evenly among four 3- to 4-ounce ice pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours and up to overnight. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before unmolding.
- The pops will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Reviews
I hated it
When I made these, the mixture didn’t freeze as well as I thought it would, so we had to eat them out of a bowl with a spoon mostly. My husband didn’t like the gooey chia, but I found them to be very delicious.
