Equipment
- Food Processor
- Whisk
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed avocado
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon agave
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 teaspoon raw vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon agave
- 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Start by preparing the brownie base. In a small food processor, combine mashed avocado, cocoa powder, agave, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and raw vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated. The texture should be velvety and rich, ideal for a brownie base.
- Once blended, divide this luscious mixture evenly between two bowls, spreading it out to create an even layer. This brownie layer will form the bottom of our Mint Chia Pudding.
- Next, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chia pudding ingredients. Combine unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chia seeds, agave, and peppermint extract. Stir well to ensure all the chia seeds are submerged in the liquid. You want to achieve a balanced consistency, ensuring that the chia seeds don’t clump together.
- Once mixed, carefully pour this chia mixture over the brownie base in the bowls. You’ll notice the stunning contrast between the rich brown bottom and the creamy white chia layer. Take a moment to appreciate this beautiful creation!
- Cover the bowls with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill overnight. This waiting period is crucial; it allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create that pudding texture.
- In the morning, when it’s time to serve, remove the bowls from the refrigerator. You’ll notice the pudding has thickened beautifully. Take a spoon and gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect. This adds an artistic touch as you prepare to enjoy your creation!
- Finally, dig in and enjoy your Mint Chia Pudding. You can garnish it with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an added pop of flavor and presentation. Each bite is sure to be a delightful experience!
