Creamy blended peanut butter chia pudding with a handy guide a rough darkish chocolate shell on prime – a scrumptious, excessive fiber, protein-rich snack or dessert!
Stealing inspiration from the viral magic shell yogurt cup, I created a variation that’s simply dairy-free, nonetheless high-protein, increased in fiber, and nonetheless tastes deliciously like digging right into a peanut butter cup with a spoon. It could possibly be a candy breakfast, it could possibly be a healthyish dessert, it could possibly be a brand new favourite recipe in your life (as a result of it undoubtedly is in mine!)
How To Make CREAMY Peanut Butter Chia Pudding
Emphasis on the creamy half – not one of the chia texture, simply easy as silk peanut butter pudding. However for the reason that base continues to be secretly chia seeds, there isn’t any cooking or thickeners or excessive fats coconut milk required. I really like chia pudding even with the chia texture too. However as I discussed on this creamy chocolate model, while you mix chia pudding it someway elevates from wholesome snack to stylish dessert.
Seedy or creamy, chia pudding requires some prepping forward so the chia seeds have time to do their gel thickening factor. This recipe begins identical to your typical chia pudding, the one distinction is mixing proper on the finish earlier than serving. You do actually need to BLEND to eliminate all of the seedy-ness, so a excessive powered blender is good. Give it a minimum of 30-60 seconds on excessive pace to ensure the feel is as easy and creamy as attainable. That quantity of mixing will heat up the pudding barely, so I prefer to refrigerate once more for half-hour or so earlier than serving.
Peanut Butter Chia Pudding Components
There’s some flexibility within the ingredient checklist for this recipe, so let’s break it down:
Milk of alternative. I used almond milk, however you possibly can actually use any kind – dairy or non-dairy. If you wish to make the pudding further wealthy, use half full-fat coconut milk.
Maple syrup. Or sweetener of alternative. Scale back or add further to your private choice.
Peanut butter. Or SunButter if you would like a nut-free possibility. Or tahini or almond butter could be scrumptious too.
Salt and vanilla extract.
Protein powder. Elective in fact, however I like so as to add it for vitamin and creaminess functions. An unflavored or vanilla selection is finest (hyperlinks to my fave within the recipe). Collagen peptides are a terrific possibility right here too if not vegan.
Chia seeds. White chia seeds will make for the prettiest PB coloration, however common are high-quality too (that’s what I used).
Two Choices For The Darkish Chocolate Shell
So we are able to go snappy, or we are able to go smooooooth. Each are scrumptious, simply totally different consuming experiences. For the snappy possibility, merely soften darkish chocolate chips (add a splash of coconut oil if it’s tremendous thick) and pour over prime of the pudding. For the sleek possibility, soften darkish chocolate chips WITH one tablespoon of non-dairy milk to create a dairy-free ganache and pour that over prime of the pudding. I do like to make use of full-fat coconut milk right here, however any variety will work. Both means, it’s best to get a assume even layer in case your pudding is barely chilled. One would require shattering with a spoon to get in, the opposite will simply be a easy scoop.
