Gluten Free Chocolate Chia Pudding Cups
Rich, creamy, and deeply chocolatey, these pudding cups are the kind of dessert that feels indulgent but comes together with just a bowl and a whisk. Full-fat coconut milk gives the base a luxurious texture, while unsweetened cocoa powder and maple syrup deliver that bittersweet chocolate flavor without any refined or suspicious additives. Chia seeds do all the heavy lifting here — they absorb the liquid overnight and transform the mixture into a thick, spoonable pudding that holds its shape beautifully. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of gluten, so there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label. The hardest part is honestly just waiting for it to set in the fridge. Top each cup with dairy-free chocolate chips and fresh berries for a little extra color and crunch, and you've got four servings of something that looks far more impressive than the effort required.
