Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 simple mills brownie mix
- 1 cup coconut oil, butter or ghee (melted )
- 6 tablespoons water
- 4 eggs
- 3 cup milk (any milk, including dairy-milk, cashew milk, almond milk or coconut milk will work)
- 3/4 cup chia seeds
- 6 tablespoons cacao powder
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 13.5 ounce cans full-fat coconut milk (chilled 24-48 hours)
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup, honey or other sweetener
- 4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- chocolate shavings
Instructions
- 1
Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender.
- 2
Blend on high for a minute, or until the pudding is creamy.
- 3
Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover and chill at least 4 hours.
- 4
Place your can of coconut milk in the refrigerator for 1-2 days before making this whipped cream.
- 5
Chill your mixing bowl for 30 minutes, then open your can of coconut milk and scoop out the hardened coconut cream. Pour the coconut water into a separate storage container and use that in a future smoothie recipe.
- 6
Using a hand mixer, fluff up the coconut cream for one minute. Then add any sweetener and vanilla extract and mix for an additional minute.
- 7
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease two 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square baking pans.
- 8
Mix the coconut oil or butter and water together in a large bowl.
- 9
Whisk in the eggs and then add the baking mix. Stir until it's combined.
- 10
Spread the mixture evenly into the greased pans and smooth it out on top.
- 11
Bake the brownies for 20-25 minutes and let them cool completely.
- 12
Cut the brownies into 1" squares and create a double layer at the bottom of the container. Make sure to create a dense layer, with each cube sitting tightly next to each other.
- 13
Add 1/2 of the chocolate chia pudding and spread evenly into one layer.
- 14
Add 1/2 of the coconut whipped cream and spread evenly into the middle layer. If you're just doing a big dollop of cream on top, you can add more coconut cream to the middle layer.
- 15
Repeat the brownie and chocolate chia pudding layers.
- 16
Add the remaining coconut whipped cream into a large dollop on top of the chocolate chia pudding.
- 17
Garnish with chocolate shavings and serve!
