Chocolate Crunch Pudding

Ingredients:

Recipe makes 3 cup of pudding

1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds

1/4 cup steel Cut Oats

1 cup milk of your choice (or 1/2 cup full fat milk and 1/2 cup water)

1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or yogurt of choice)

optional: 1-2 tablespoons sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, honey, monk fruit, etc.)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

1 Tbs Nut butter (of choice) for layering

1/2 Banana slices for layering

2-3 Tbs Dark chocolate for melting

Dash of Salt and crush walnuts for sprinkling

Directions:

In a bowl or jar, combine the Zen Basil Seeds, oats, milk/water, yogurt, salt, sweetener and mix well, add vanilla extract and mix again. Stir well to ensure that the seeds, oats, and yogurt are evenly distributed throughout the mixture and chill overnight.

Before serving, give it a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure everything is well mixed.

In this photo, we layered Zen Basil pudding as the base, top with even layer of nut butter, even layer of sliced bananas, melted dark chocolate (I use chocolate chips with coconut to melt) and drizzle it over the nut butter layer.

Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, dash of walnuts for a delicious contrast of flavors.

Chill in freezer for 30 sec or 5 min in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden slightly and create a crunchy texture.

Enjoy your decadent Zen Basil Seeds and oats pudding with layers of nut butter, dark chocolate, and yogurt! This recipe offers a delightful combination of thick and yet creamy pudding, nutty flavors, rich chocolate, and a hint of saltiness for a truly indulgent treat.
