Ingredients

Chocolate Chia Pudding

  • 2 cups almond/coconut milk or your favorite milk
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup OR 4 pitted + chopped medjool dates
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Coconut Banana Cream

Caramelized Buckwheat

  • 1/2 cup raw buckwheat groats
  • 1/2 cup raw oatmeal
  • 1 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • salt
  • chopped chocolate + dried roses for topping

Instructions

Chocolate Chia Pudding

  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, stirring well to combine. Cover and let sit, preferably overnight, in the fridge or for at least 4 hours.
  • Once the pudding has thickened, add it to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. The pudding will not be as thick as traditional pudding, but should not be soupy.

Coconut Cream

  • Combine the coconut milk, chia seeds honey, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour, stirring twice until thickened OR let sit in the fridge overnight until thickened and creamy.

Caramelized Buckwheat

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the buckwheat, oats, maple and coconut oil. Sprinkle with salt. Toss well to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the buckwheat + oats are toasted.

To Assemble

  • Divide the chocolate pudding between 5-4 serving glasses. If desired add a layer of mashed banana to each glass. Top with a layer of the coconut cream pudding. If not serving right away, cover and chill in the fridge for up to 3-4 days (if chilling this long, leave OUT the layer of mashed banana and swirl it in before serving). To serve, top with sliced banana, caramelized buckwheat, dries roses and chocolate. EAT.
