Still Fire Pudding

Burnout Recovery Dessert • Nervous System Indulgence

A Feast of Comfort. A Ritual of Sacred Sweetness.

I. Purpose

Still Fire Pudding is not just dessert. It is sacred softness in edible form. Designed for the emotionally frayed, the late-night over-thinker, or the warrior who forgot how to receive. This is pleasure without the price—rooted in adaptogens, healthy fats, and ancient calming allies.

II. Comfort Principles

Low-GI & Gut-Friendly: No grains, no sugar crash
Warm + Cold Harmony: Textural duality for sensory balance
Magnesium-Rich: Chocolate + seeds for nervous system calm
Sleep Supportive: Adaptogens + minerals = ease
Ritualized Indulgence: Designed to be eaten slowly, in silence or softness

III. Ingredient Ritual (1–2 Servings)

Base: 2 tbsp chia seeds + 3/4 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
Flavor: 1 tbsp raw cacao powder + 1/4 tsp cinnamon + 1/8 tsp nutmeg
Sweetness: 1 tsp monk fruit or 1 pitted Medjool date, blended
Calm Enhancers:
- 1/4 tsp reishi or ashwagandha powder
- Optional: 1/4 tsp magnesium glycinate powder
Texture Toppings: Toasted coconut flakes, cacao nibs, sesame seeds, ghee swirl

IV. Preparation Ritual

Blend milk, cacao, sweetener, and adaptogens until smooth.
Stir in chia seeds and let thicken 15–20 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
Top with coconut flakes, ghee drizzle, or warm sesame crunch just before serving.

Ritual Line: “As I eat, I return to stillness. My flame rests. My being is enough.”

V. Optional Serving Enhancements

Serve warm with spiced almond milk poured over top
Pair with a small ghee-laced moon milk for deeper nourishment
Light a candle. Eat without a screen. Let this be holy pleasure.

“This is not dessert. This is a memory of safety, remade edible.”
