  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, cooled coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds evenly. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again for a silky texture.
  3. Pour into jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  4. Stir before serving. Add extra milk for a softer consistency and finish with granola or chocolate shavings.

Notes

For a softer pudding, stir in additional milk before serving. For a thicker texture, add more chia seeds. Freeze sealed jars for up to one month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Stir gently before serving for easy assembly. Customize flavor with cinnamon, espresso powder, peppermint extract, or toasted coconut. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
