I am starting to feel the stress of finals building. I have had less time to make fun meals, which is okay, but it means that there are less fun things to report on. I know that all I have to do is get through the next two weeks, and then it is finally summer. Not that summer matters that much in terms of working or spending time with friends, but I am so excited to finally have free time and (maybe) warm weather. I started to bring the idea of summer with a cool dessert this week, something would be perfect going into the summer.
This weeks new recipe was a chocolate chia pudding from Feel Good Foodie. I was in the mood for a different kind of dessert than I usually have. Typically I have dark chocolate or coffee ice cream but I saw this recipe and decided out of the blue to make it. The first time I made it, I added coffee ice cream, coconut flakes and a chocolate covered banana. The second time, I had the chia pudding with bananas. The chia pudding with ice cream was something I hadn't thought of before, and it made a great texture combination.
This chia pudding tasted so good. I think that what really made this so good what that I used a high quality cocoa powder. I used Equal Exchange's cocoa powder and it is a game changer. The cocoa powder is rich and full of flavor. It is nothing like other brands I have used in the past. I will definitely be making this again. I loved the easy of being able to just grab it out of the fridge and still have a fancy dessert. I am already planning all of the different flavors I want to make... almond, chai and coffee... yum.
What is your favorite kind of chia pudding?
Until next time,
Maddie
