Ingredients
  

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Dark chocolate shavings or chocolate chips (for topping)

Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk to thoroughly blend the almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Aim for a homogeneous mixture that is smooth with no cocoa lumps.

    Add Chia Seeds: Gradually fold in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly incorporated throughout the chocolate mixture to prevent clumping.

      Let It Thicken: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chilling and thicken for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will let the chia seeds absorb the liquid, transforming the mixture into a creamy, pudding-like texture.

        Stir Before Serving: After the chilling period, remove the pudding from the refrigerator and stir it well to break up any clumps that may have formed. Taste the pudding and feel free to add additional maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.

          Serve: Spoon the thickened pudding into individual serving bowls or cups. Top each with generous amounts of dark chocolate shavings or chocolate chips. If you wish, add a handful of fresh berries on top for a pop of color and natural sweetness.

            Enjoy: Grab a spoon and indulge in the rich, chocolatey delight that is both decadent and nutritious! Savor every spoonful of this delightful treat.
