    Chocolate Cherry Chia Pudding Popsicles

    These healthy Chocolate Cherry Chia Pudding Popsicles are made with creamy chocolate chia pudding and dark sweet cherries.

    These Chocolate Cherry Chia Pudding Popsicles are so healthy they actually don't need portion control. They could be eaten for breakfast, which I did one day to cool off.

    If this is your first time making popsicles then using bath cups are a great way to get you started. That way you can see how often you will be making them before you purchase another kitchen gadget that sits in your cupboard and doesn't get used.

    One nice thing about using bath cups is portion control. Three ounces is the perfect size for a popsicle in my eyes. Since I'm not much of a dessert person, a small popsicle is just right for me.

    Creamy chocolate chia pudding with cherries layered in between, what's not to love! I added in cacao nibs for some crunch, which you could omit or switch out for chocolate chips. I personally love to balance out the sweet popsicles with a bitter note.

    To the chocolate chia pudding I added in some almond extract since almonds have a slight cherry flavor.

    Another recipe to cool you off is a Vegan Strawberry Milkshake.

    🧾 Ingredients

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Chia seeds: Get gelatinous when you add liquid.
    • Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk because I like to control the sweetness. You could use sweetened almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or your favorite dairy-free milk.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup, dates, or your favorite sweetener.
    • Cacao powder: Adds chocolate flavor. You could also use cocoa powder.
    • Vanilla Extract: Enhances flavors.
    • Almond extract: Adds a fruity flavor. You could leave it out.
    • Salt: Enhances sweetness.
    • Cherries: I used frozen dark sweet cherries. You could use fresh or frozen cherries.
    • Cacao nibs: Adds a bitter chocolaty flavor. You could also use chocolate chips.
