Triple C Pudding

                                                        

Why triple C you may ask?  Well, it is Cacao, Coconut Crumble Pudding....

I have made this pudding in a couple of different ways and all taste great however you decide to make it.  You can make it as a cacao and cinnamon pudding as pictured on the right, or you can make up a lime chia pudding with a crumble to go with it. (pictured on the left)

It's so quick to make the actual pudding, so taking a little time to do the layering really doesn't matter too much.

Starting with the Chia, Cacao and Cinnamon Pudding:
Ingredients-
1 cup almond milk
3 tbsp. chia seeds
1 1/2 tbsp. raw cacao powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. maple syrup 
Method-
Simply place the almond milk, chia seeds & cacao into a small bowl and mix through until well combined.  Make sure all the cacao has dissolved or you'll end up with a few bitter bites as you eat.  Lastly add the maple syrup and mix through. Cover this and place in the fridge to set overnight or at least for about 8 hours.  
You can eat this one on its own served with berries or a little crumble mix* sprinkled on top. 

Next is the Coconut, Lime Chia Pudding:
Ingredients-
1 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp. chia seeds
juice of 1 lime (approx.60ml)
Method-
Mix together the coconut milk, chia seeds and the juice from the lime until they are all well combined.  Place into individual bowls and put in the fridge for about 6 hours to set.
Serve with a little crumble* on top and a few chopped strawberries.  Very easy to make these ahead of time.

If you're putting them together in one dessert, pop each pudding into the fridge for about an hour, before giving it another quick stir and  carefully spooning/ layering individual bowls or jars.  Sprinkle the crumble over the top and garnish with some fresh strawberries.

* For the crumble, place 1/2 cup almond meal, 1/2 cup desiccated coconut, 1 tbsp. honey, 1 1/2 tbsp. raw cacao powder and a pinch of himalayan salt into a small processor and blend until it forms a moist grainy consistency.  Sprinkle a little over the top of each individual bowl, or even at the base before the pudding goes in.
