    I love chocolate, but what I love even more is chocolate, coconut, and almonds together. This Chocolate Coconut Almond Chia Pudding was inspired by my Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter, which I love to eat by the spoonful, and I have included in this recipe.

    I recently made a Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia Pudding, so layering chia pudding with something sweet was on my brain. I thought why not make my normal chocolate chia pudding even more dessert-like by layering it with my favorite chocolaty spread.

    Sweet chocolate chia pudding made with full-fat coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk works too), layered with chocolate coconut almond butter, coconut flakes, and slivered almonds. Talk about indulgence.

    Chia seeds get gelatinous when liquid is added to them, so they make a wonderful base for puddings. They are high in fiber, and low in carbs.

    If you make this with stevia and either omit the chocolate coconut almond butter or use very little of it, this becomes a vegan keto chocolate chia pudding. You could also replace the maple syrup with stevia in the chocolate coconut almond butter.

    If you have yet to try chia pudding, then this is the recipe to try. For one thing, it is sweet and indulgent.

    For another, I blended the chia seeds with the rest of the ingredients, which gives this pudding a consistency and texture that you are used to, whereas other chia puddings (mine included) contain whole chia seeds. The texture of chia seeds in pudding can take some getting used to if you are trying it for the first time.

    This rich low-carb chocolate coconut chia pudding is definitely more worthy of the dessert category than some of my other chia puddings. I've put many in the breakfast category because they are healthy and filling.

    Chia pudding is a great way to start or end your day.

    Another chocolate almond recipe is my Chocolate Coffee Creamer recipe.

      This is my go to recipe! The consistency of the pudding along with the sweet and salty taste given by the chocolate almond butter topping, covers all my comfort food areas in one simple dessert. Thanks for such a quick, and tastey recipe.5 stars
