INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup chia seeds
INSTRUCTIONS:
Sift cocoa powder into a medium-deep mixing bowl. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine until smooth. Add the coconut milk on top and whisk to combine until smooth.
Pour the chia seeds on top of the mixture and either blend with a whisk or immersion blender. The immersion blender will create a smoother texture.
Cover and refrigerate until the mixture thickens, and becomes pudding-like at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Enjoy with fresh coconut whip cream and berries, if desired.
