Servings: 2

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups frozen banana slices (about 1 ½ ripe bananas)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 cup milk

2/3 cup chopped strawberries

2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Equipment:

whisk

bowl

food processor

blender

Cooking instruction summary:

Prepare the pudding ahead of time by combining 1 cup milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Sift in the cocoa powder to remove any clumps, then whisk vigorously until all of the ingredients are incorporated (the cocoa powder is sometimes stubborn during this step, but I find tilting the bowl to the side helps the liquid absorb it more quickly). Place the chocolate chia pudding mixture in a lidded container and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight to thicken. Stir occasionally as it chills. Prior to serving, blend the frozen banana slices and 1/3 cup of milk together in a high-powered blender, adding more milk, a tablespoon at a time, as needed to blend. (You may, as an alternative, use a food processor to make a banana puree. In this instance, the milk may not be necessary at all.)To serve, place the chocolate chia pudding, banana puree, and strawberries in 2 tall glasses or jars in alternating layers. Garnish with a strawberry on top if you want it to be fancy schmancy.
