  • 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 to prevent clumps.
  3. Pour into jars, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours until thick, creamy, and spoonable.
  4. Stir before serving. Add extra milk for a softer texture, then top with almonds or chocolate if desired.

Notes

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