Equipment
- jar with cover
- whisk + measuring cups & spoons
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 ¼ cups vanilla flaxmilk or other plant-based milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (use a pourable pb for best results)
Chocolate hard shell
- 4 tablespoons chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil (use refined for zero coconut flavor)

Instructions
- Make the chia pudding: whisk together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and peanut butter. Place in the fridge to chill for 10-15 minutes. Remove and stir well (break up any clumps of chia seed). Place back in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes or until fully set.
- Add the magic shell: add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, stir well, and pour over the top of the chia seeds. Add crushed peanuts and sea salt flakes. Place back into the fridge (or freezer) for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate. Remove, crack the magic shell with a spoon and enjoy!
Notes
Makes 2-4 servings depending on how much chia seed pudding is desired - enjoy!
Layer option: the magic shell can also be layered in a jar. Scoop a few tablespoons of the peanut butter chia pudding into a jar, add half of the melted chocolate(+ an optional tablespoon of peanut butter) and repeat until the jar is full.
Magic shell alternative: skip letting the chocolate harden and just enjoy with a drizzle of melted chocolate, peanuts (and/or peanut butter) and sea salt. Alternatively, add chocolate chips or chopped peanut butter cups.
