I like almost every single sweet recipe, yes, I have a sweet tooth! Desserts taste great, but my digestion has improved a lot since I eat sweet things only for breakfast, as a snack or when I eat at restaurants.
Simple sweet recipes are my favorite ones. I love to cook (it's obvious, I'm a food blogger ?), but I usually make simple recipes, that's why we decided to call our blog Simple Vegan Blog because we wanted to make simple recipes for everyone and make you life easier!
You just need 4 ingredients to make this pudding, what? Yes, only 4: chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup and some plant milk of your choice. It's a super quick recipe that is ready in 10 minutes, although you need to let stand this amazing pudding in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours, but it's worth the wait!
When the chia pudding is ready to serve, add your favorite toppings like fruits, nuts, seeds, cacao nibs, coconut whipped cream or whatever.
Hope you like and make this recipe, if you do, please leave a comment, we love to hear from you. Thanks for all your support and for being always there for us! ❤️
Tips:
- Feel free to use any other sweetener, just add it gently until the pudding is sweet enough for you.
- To make your pudding creamier, use soy milk, almond milk or some nut milk because they have more fat, although you can use any plant milk or even water.
- Carob powder or raw cacao also work, but maybe you'll need to add more or less. Carob is also sweeter, so probably you'll need to add less maple syrup.

Kate West says
Awesome! This is so easy and delicious! I made it the other night, put it in the fridge and actually forgot about it until this morning so I had it for breakfast.. what a bonus! It will be perfect for a sweet snack at night too.
Love your blog!!! Thank you so much 🙂
Iosune says
Hi Kate! So glad you like the recipe and also our blog 🙂 Have a nice day!
Monique Jackson says
Can I use the full fat canned coconut milk kind? Or would that be way too thick?
Iosune says
Hi Monique! You should use 1 cup of milk, but you could try adding more if you want. I think it will be too watery, as you're adding more liquid. Have a nice day!
Katie says
How long does this last in the fridge?
Iosune says
Hi Katie! For about 4 days 🙂
Sadie Lunt says

Sarah Sneid says
C'est tellement délicieux! Je l'ai fait avec du lait de coco au lieu du lait d'amande, car c'est ce que j'avais à portée de main. Je me suis rappelé de mon dessert préféré de tous les temps, une mousse au chocolat! JE VOUS REMERCIE!
Iosune says
Merci Sarah 🙂

Lauren, I agree with Susie - Dr. Fuhrman's site will be able to help. And you can skip oil and still have healthy fat like Avocado. Also look at Dr. Esselstyn's cookbooks - most libraries have them. They use whole food and no oil as well. He used to work at CCF in cardiology and left to pursue nutritional medicine.
Iosune says
Hi Colleen! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂 Have a nice day!
Ana says
This is so delicious! I made it with coconut milk instead of almond milk, as it’s what I had on hand. Reminded me of my all-time favorite dessert, chocolate mousse! THANK YOU!
Iosune says
Hi Ana! Thanks a lot 😀 Coconut milk is a great choice. You're so welcome!
Taylor says
Could I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Iosune says
Hi Taylor! I'm vegan, so I don't consume honey. Try to add agave syrup or any liquid sweetener you want 🙂
whitney says
I just made it four hours ago and it was good. It is not a chocolate chip cookie, but a lot healthier and a certain stand in for dessert in order to stay healthy! Thanks!! I love your blog. I've been cooking a lot of your recipes!!
Iosune says
Hi Whitney! Thank you so much 🙂 Have a nice day!
Katyemma Bakes says
I've just made this and put it in the fridge alongside the coconut milk can ready for tomorrow!! It looks awesome ? Thanks for the recipe!!
Iosune says
Hi Katyemma! You're so welcome 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!

Hi my daughter and I are trying to eat healthier and we are trying to go vegan. When school starts up, I'll be clueless about what to pack in her lunch. Do you have any recipes for snacks or quick sandwich substitutes.
P.S. I haven't tried this recipe yet but my daughter is excited and open to trying new vegan options 🙂
Iosune says
Hi Virginia! We have so many recipes on the blog, you should take a look 😉 I love fruits, nuts and seeds for snack, but these balls are also amazing http://simpleveganblog.com/3-ingredient-raw-cacao-bites/ This sandwich is so delicious and healthy: http://simpleveganblog.com/simple-hummus-sandwich/ Have a nice day!
G says

My husband recently had by-pass surgery a few weeks ago, quite a shock to both of us. On the recommendation of both Cleveland Clinic and my husband's CNP we have decided together to go vegan. The program however eliminates any oils or nuts or in other words any food that has a mother or face along with any plants with oil. Sadly avocados are gone.
So far I have been quite happy and successful with preparing foods for us over the last week and half since he came home, which just happened to be our 35th anniversary that day, best one ever!!! My biggest challenge is feeding his sweet tooth with those snack foods that he craves. Since the restrictions of oils and nuts its a bit overwhelming I am in search of other recipes and websites that can give me a variety of foods for us.
I found your website and have added it to my library...
Bright Blessings,
Lauren M.
Iosune says
Hi Lauren! Thank you so much, I hope your husband gets better soon! We make vegan recipes and they're also oil-free since a few months ago, hope we can help you. Have a nice day!!!
Susie says
Look into Dr. Fuhrman's new book on heart disease. You will be able to eat avocados! I follow his diet & have reversed my auto-immune condition. Check him out!
Iosune says
Hi Susie! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂 I eat avocados very often, I love them!
Elizabeth says
This was a wonderful pudding and not too sweet, but will try and make with less chia to cut the calories. These two servings were about 300 cal. each and approximately 12 g. of fat. A little too high for my liking. But what a wonderful vegan dessert.
Iosune says
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks 🙂 We don't count calories, we just follow a healthy diet and eat until we're satisfied 😉
Elizabeth says
YES YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S BEST TO NOT COUNT AND I DON'T EITHER. I JUST WANTED TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT. AND I'M IMPRESSED THAT YOU CARED ENOUGH TO WRITE BACK. IT MEANS ALOT. THANKS.
Iosune says
You're so welcome Elizabeth! Have a nice day 😉
