Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Dairy Free, Low Carb
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Sweetener to taste
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and unsweetened almond milk, whisking thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- Add the sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread to the mixture, stirring until completely incorporated and smooth. The spread will help create a rich, chocolate flavor throughout the pudding.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and your preferred sugar-free sweetener, mixing well to distribute evenly. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container, ensuring no air can easily enter.
- Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2-3 hours, or ideally overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any potential clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts, a few fresh berries, or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your low-carb, dairy-free, sugar-free Nutella chia pudding!
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: The key to a smooth chia pudding is preventing those pesky seed clumps. Take your time whisking the chia seeds and almond milk to ensure even distribution.
- Sweetness Control: Start with a small amount of sweetener and taste as you go. You can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Patience is Key: While you can eat the pudding after 2-3 hours, letting it sit overnight will give you the most perfect, creamy consistency.
- Customize Your Toppings: Get creative with garnishes! Chopped nuts, sugar-free chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can take this pudding to the next level.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This pudding can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it perfect for quick breakfasts or snacks.
- Texture Tip: If the pudding becomes too thick, simply whisk in a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
