Chocolate Peppermint Chia Seed Pudding
If you're a fan of peppermint patties, this Chocolate Peppermint Chia Seed Pudding is a refreshing twist on a holiday favorite. Rich chocolate flavor, creamy chia pudding, and a festive peppermint chocolate shell make this recipe a healthy, indulgent treat that you can enjoy anytime. This dessert is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats—perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a delicious dessert.
Ingredients:
Pudding:
½ cup unsweetened soy milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for a rich, dark chocolate flavor)
1 tbsp maple syrup (or adjust to taste)
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp peppermint extract (use more if you like a stronger mint flavor)
1 serving collagen powder (optional for added protein)
Chocolate Shell:
3 tbsp semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1½ tsp coconut oil
⅛ tsp peppermint extract
Crushed peppermint candies (¼ of a large candy cane for a festive touch)
Directions:
In a blender add milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, collagen powder and chia seeds blend for 45 seconds or so until chia seeds are well blended.
Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate minimum 1 hour (when it’s blended it takes less time to set). If you don’t blend, mix all your ingredients, let it sit for 5 min then mix again, refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Melt your chocolate, coconut oil and peppermint extract using a double boiler (that’s what I did) or microwave and mix every 20-30 seconds until melted.
Spread your chocolate over your set chia pudding, sprinkle crushed candy cane (1 tsp) over the top and refrigerate minimum 30 min.
Using your spoon, crack the chocolate shell and enjoy it with your Chocolate Peppermint Chia Pudding.
