Chocolate Chia Mousse
Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Chia Pudding is equally delicious as it is nourishing! Perfect for breakfast, a healthy snack, or dessert. Unlike regular chia pudding, it's blended in a high-powered blender which gives the chia pudding a mousse-like consistency. It takes only 10 minutes to make, great for meal prep, and is vegan, paleo, & gluten-free!
Ingredients
Chia pudding
- 1/3 cup Chia seeds
- 3/4 cup Milk, of choice + more as needed *use full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest pudding!
- 2 1/2-3 tbsp Cacao powder
- 1/4 cup Maple syrup or honey (or monk fruit)
- 1 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt
Peanut butter yogurt mousse
- 3/4 cup THICK coconut yogurt or greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine all of the chia mousse ingredients, blending until super smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness/flavors as needed.
- The pudding should be thick and creamy, but if for whatever reason you want to add a little extra milk (especially if you're chilling overnight, it tends to thicken up even more), add just 1/4 cup more!
- Make the peanut butter mousse: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey, mixing until thick and smooth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Layer the chia pudding and peanut butter yogurt mousse into individual serving bowls or jars. Since blended chia pudding is thicker, you can enjoy it straight away, however I think it's best chilled after at least an hour or two!
- Meal prep: This chia pudding will last in the fridge up to 5 days, however I prefer it up to 3 days so I tend to prep smaller batches since it's so quick to make!

Notes
I like to top mine with 1-2 of my peanut butter oatmeal cookie balls!
