Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups sweet dairy-free cream (see instructions below)
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tsp cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp Dandy Blend
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For The Sweet Dairy-Free Cream

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight or for 4 hours in hot water)
  • 2 cups water
  • OR 3 cups premade unsweetened cashew milk (see notes)
  • 7 small dates (or 2 1/2 large Medjool dates)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

For The Sweet Dairy-Free Cream

  • Drain and rinse your cashews and add them to a blender with your water OR just put in the premade cashew milk. Add in the vanilla and dates and blend it all on high for 1 minute.

For The Chocolate Chia Mousse

  • Add the remaining ingredients to the blender with the sweet dairy-free cream, adding your chia seeds last.
  • Blend on low for 30 seconds, then on high for 3 minutes. See notes if using a high-speed blender.
  • Transfer your chocolate chia mousse to a glass container (or multiple small containers) and cover. Allow it to chill and set up in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. Give it a quick stir before serving.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container for up to 5 days in the fridge, and up to 3 months in the freezer.

Notes

  • The 3 cups of premade unsweetened cashew milk is a substitute for the soaked cashews and water. 
  • If using a high-speed blender, the mixture will get hot! So be careful when tasting it directly from the blender. BONUS: The heat will actually help the pudding to thicken faster.
  • Don't be alarmed if the top of your pudding turns dark brown a few minutes after blending and transferring to a storage container. This is just a reaction to the pudding cooling if it gets hot in the blender. Just give it a stir once it's cooled down before storing it in the fridge or freezer.
