Method
- Whisk milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth with no cocoa lumps.
- Stir in chia seeds until evenly coated. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, then stir again for a creamy texture.
- Divide into containers and cover tightly for easy serving later.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and spoonable.
- Serve chilled with chocolate shavings or berries. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a softer consistency.
Notes
For a softer pudding, stir in extra milk before serving. Chill longer for a thicker texture. Freeze individual portions in airtight containers and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Add toppings after thawing for the best assembly. Customize with espresso powder, cinnamon, peanut butter, or orange zest. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
