Chocolate chia pudding with coffee amaretti is perfect if you love simple spoon desserts with an intense flavor, ideal for a super breakfast or as a dessert. A creamy, fragrant, and enveloping dessert, where the contrast between the lightness of the pudding and the crunchy note of the amaretti creates a perfect balance.
Chia seeds, known for their ability to absorb liquids and turn into a velvety cream, are mixed here with bitter cocoa and almond milk for a soft and delicious base. The irresistible touch comes from amaretti soaked in coffee, giving the dessert an aromatic and enveloping touch, just like traditional sweets.
It is recommended to assemble your dessert before serving it, so you don’t lose the alternation of the various textures.
⚠️ Warning: this is not a “fit” recipe (due to the presence of amaretti and honey) but a delightful treat worth every teaspoon. Ideal for a special breakfast, a snack to share, or as a dessert to serve in a glass to amaze with simplicity.
