Chocolate and chia seed pudding.

No cooking required.

Known as chia pudding in English, it’s a dessert/breakfast/snack that is light yet delicious and nutritious, made with healthy ingredients, suitable for omnivorous, vegan, or vegetarian diets, depending on whether you use animal or plant-based milk or yogurt.
Ideal for all ages.
To sweeten it if you prefer it sweet, you can use brown sugar, or as I did, a sweetener.
You just need to heat the milk, and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours to enjoy it fully.
You can prepare it in the evening and have it ready in the fridge for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Let’s go shopping

7 oz milk (also plant-based)
7 oz semi-skimmed milk yogurt (plain or vanilla)
2.3 oz chia seeds
1 oz unsweetened cocoa powder
1 oz dark chocolate chips
0.25 oz stevia (or 0.7 oz of erythritol or sugar of choice)
1 pinch ground cinnamon
3.5 oz strawberries (optional)

Tools

Here’s what we need to make

2 Bowls
4 Small bowls
Whisk
Small pot
Knife

Preparation

To do

Pour the warm milk, yogurt, unsweetened cocoa, cinnamon, and chosen sweetener into a glass bowl, then add the chia seeds.
Stir with a whisk for 1 minute, repeating the operation at least 5 times, so that the milk is well absorbed by the seeds, which are very light and tend to float.
For this reason, it’s important to stir them several times to ensure they mix well with the milk
Divide the mixture into 4 bowls, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up
After the time has passed, decorate with dark chocolate chips and some strawberries or other fruit of your choice.
Here’s your chocolate and chia seed pudding ready
