I seem to have chocolate on the brain today! I found what looked to be a promising chocolate pudding during my online "recipe sharking" (so named by my highly verbally gifted daughter)that used chia seeds and cocoa powder. The flavor was there, but the texture reminded me more of chocolate milk than pudding. After whipping up a batch of Chocolate Covered Katie's Deep Dish Cookie Pies (one of my kids favorites!), I had some leftover cooked garbanzo beans.... and a light of inspiration came on! Here is the resulting recipe...
Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding
3 cups cooked and drained garbanzo beans
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1/3 cup xylitol
1/3 cup + 1Tbsp erythritol
2/3 cup almond milk
Toss everything into a really good blender or food processor (I love my Cuisinart!) and blend really well for a few minutes.
(My pictures are not the best, I know, its a work in progress!)
