Total Time: 10+ hours
Ingredients:
Chocolate Oat Layer:
2/3 cup rolled/old fashion oats
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup nut or seed milk; or milk of your choice
1.5-2 tbsp maple syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3-4 tbsp chopped strawberries or raspberries; optional
Chocolate Pudding Layer:
2/3 cup Greek yogurt; i used non-fat (vegan)
2 tbsp nut milk; or milk of your choice
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Ganache Layer:
1.5-2 tbsp cocoa powder; unsweetened or sweetened as you want
1 tbsp nut milk; or milk of your choice
Chopped strawberries or raspberries to garnish; optional
Directions:
Chocolate Oat Layer: In the two containers you’re setting in add half of each of the ingredients- oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, nut milk, salt, vanilla essence and chopped berries.
Mix it in the separate bowls till combined.
Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, add the yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, and maple syrup.
Divide it between the two containers over the oat layer. I like to use a piping bag to divide it between the two.
Ganache layer: In a separate bowl add cocoa powder and milk and mix
Divide it between the two containers over the pudding layer. I like to use a spoon/ piping bag to divide it among the two.
If you want top it with some chopped berries.
Cover and set it in the fridge for 10+ hours.
Once out give it a stir and enjoy!
Notes/Tips:
I use unsweetned flax and chia seed milk. You can use any milk you want.
If you want, swap maple syrup with honey.
Don’t use steel-cut oats, it doesn't soak well.
You can make these and keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days.
I recommend mixing it a little before eating so that all the flavors mix well.
I used 18 oz containers to set them in. I recommend anything from 12 oz to 18 oz containers to set them in.
