Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chia Pudding | Desserts Recipes

My missing in action from this space for the past two weeks was not intentional. I was a bit preoccupied with some things at home. Though I had been cooking and clicking regularly, I wasn't able to sit down and pen words. May be that is what is called the blogger's block. 
Anyway I am back now and hope to as often as I could. This is a simple pudding made with chia seeds, chocolate and peanut butter. It is a yummy and healthy dessert recipe. How can desserts be healthy, you may ask. It can, because I made this pudding with chia seeds. Chia seeds absorb ten times its weight with water and keeps the body hydrated. 

Ingredients:
Serves - 2; Cooking time - 10 mins; Standing time - 2 hrs
Chia seeds - 2 tbsp
Semi sweet chocolate chips - 1/4 cup (you can use dark chocolate chips)
Peanut Butter - 1 tbsp
Milk - 1/2 cup
Agave syrup - 2 tsp (or any sweetener of your choice)

Method: 
Place the peanut butter, chocolate chips and about 2 tbsp of milk in a microwave proof bowl and microwave for about 20-25 secs. Whisk until smooth. Add the remaining milk and heat for another 10 secs. Add the chia seeds and mix. Set aside for 10 minutes and mix again. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled topped with fruits of your choice, or just as is.
