Recipe Directions
- 1. Blend cashews and water until nice and smooth.
- 2. Add everything else (except the chia seeds). Blend again.
- 3. Place the chia seeds in a bowl. Add the blended mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed.
- 4. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 1 hour - ideally longer). (The purpose for refrigerating is to allow the chia seeds to plump up over time. They will increase approximately 10 times their size! And they will thicken the pudding in a few hours.)
- 5. Eat in the morning or for dessert in the evening! Stir well again before eating.

Can this be made with a nut other than cashew, almond or peanut? (I'm intolerant to them.)

Raw chocolate chia pudding recipe
My fave breakfast pudding! I don't care for the whole chia's ... so I toss them in and blend them into a smooth pudding. I portion into 4 jars so they're ready to roll. Top with raspberries, cacao nibs, coconut, nuts ... yummmm!

Raw chocolate chia pudding recipe
Ahhh! This was so tasty!! The only change I made is I used walnuts, as I didn't have any cashews. Since it did in fact taste like chocolate ice cream, I decided to put it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Yummy, yum!! Thank you for sharing!

Yummy-yum, I agree! Glad you like, Jordasche!

Raw chocolate chia pudding recipe
I love this pudding! Do you think fresh mint would be nice in it? If so, would you blend it in the pudding? Thanks for all your delicious raw recipes - they always turn out great!
The Rawtarian

You could try blending the mint directly in with everything else. Not sure how strong you like your mint flavor, but start small! Let me know how it turns out!

Raw chocolate chia pudding recipe
What did I do wrong? followed the amounts but still a bit liquid...should I wait for more time? (5 hours have passed) , thanks, Anna

Hi Anna, I'm sure you've eaten your pudding by now! Did you enjoy it? It sounds like it thickened up a bit, so that’s good! You didn't do anything wrong if it's still a bit runny. This happens.

This is so delicious! Tastes like melted chocolate ice cream. My husband and 3 year old love it too. I also love the chocolate mousse, so rich and smooth.
Thank you so much for these recipes, it's great how simple they are to make.

just curious, did this recipe change at all from a year ago? For some reason it's not tasting the way it use to :(

I was wondering if there was something else I could use instead of cashews?
The Rawtarian
Jun 08, 2014
Hi Eggy!
The cashews are there for creaminess. I suppose you could use a banana instead - but it will alter the flavor.

This pudding is delicious, I added 3 tbsp of hemp hearts to make it even healthier

Hi, I love those ideas for most of your recepies (I don't like mashrooms :) ). I was just wondering is it possible to replace cocoa powder in all your recepies with carob powder - unit for unit? Have you ever tried it?
Thank you
The Rawtarian
Nov 06, 2013
Hi Kristina,
Yes, you can use carob instead of cacao. I don't use carob very often myself, but when I do use it I use this ratio (since carob has a weaker flavor than cacao):
For every 1 part cacao I use 1.5 parts carob :)

Raw chocolate chia pudding recipe
can you replace the chia seeds with ground flax meal?
The Rawtarian
Sep 14, 2013
Hi Kat, No sorry, you cannot replace the chia seeds with ground flax! This is because the chia seeds plump up like tapioca, whereas flax seeds do not do the same thing :( sorry
