  • 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
Optional Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs optional
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds optional

  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, cooled coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until silky and fully blended.
  2. Mix in chia seeds evenly. Rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to create a smooth, even texture.
  3. Divide the mixture among jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours until thick and creamy.
  4. Stir before serving. Add extra milk for a softer consistency and top with your favorite crunchy garnish.

Notes

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