After a couple times of making the Quick Coconut Pineapple Chia Seeds Pudding I decided to upgrade the pudding (kid-wise) and use my favorite ingredient in the whole wide world – chocolate.
Yeah yeah, it’s not so healthy right? but really, the pudding is so healthy that a tiny thing like chocolate won’t get in the way would it?
So I made a whole new pudding using sweetened chocolate milk powder (Nesquik and friends) and put a little surprise on the bottom of each cup – a mini ‘Rolo’ chocolate.
Don’t tell anyone, but other than being really delicious, the rolo is there as bait you see, the kids will have to finish up their whole cup in order to reach the rolo, so the way I see it it’s the holy grail and they are on a mission – will the make it? I bet they will!
This pudding is not only packed yet again with Omega-3, it’s also very filling and delicious – look at that, and adventure and breakfast all in one. Ta-da!
You can of course choose to not use any rolo at all or use an alternative chocolate ‘bait’, everything goes when it comes to chocolate.
- ½ Cup Unsweetened Coconut (Finely Shredded)
- ½ Cup Chia Seeds
- A pinch of Salt
- ¾ Cup Cold Chocolate Milk (made with ¾ cup water and 3 tsp Chocolate Milk Powder)
- 1½ Cup Coconut Milk (Full Fat - I used the canned one)
- 5 Tbsp Maple Syrup
- 12 mini Rolo Chocolates (and more for decorating on top)
- In a bowl you mix the Chia Seeds and Coconut together
- Add in the coconut milk and cold chocolate milk
- Finally, add the maple syrup and stir all together well
- Place 2 'rolo' chocolates on the bottom of each cup
- Using a ladle or a large spoon, divide into glasses/ containers/ mason jars evenly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving (the more the better)
- Once the pudding is set, you can serve with a piece of 'rolo' on top

I’d love to try this one but have a bit of a fear my son won’t be down with the texture of the chia seeds. Your kids didn’t mind it at all?
not at all.
it kind of resembles the texture of rice pudding (with the tiny chunks in it) so overall I didn’t get any complains.
There is a unique texture to it, that’s for sure! But I topped it up with some chocolate syrup for distraction
