Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Base

1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk for creamier texture
0.5 cup chia seeds
3-5 tablespoons maple syrup adjust to taste
0.25 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch sea salt
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, for warmth and depth

Method

In a small bowl, sift in the cacao powder. Add maple syrup, cinnamon (if using), sea salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour in a small amount of almond or coconut milk and whisk into a smooth paste. This helps blend the cocoa and syrup thoroughly.
Gradually whisk in the remaining milk, continuing until smooth and fully combined with no lumps.
Add the chia seeds and whisk thoroughly to distribute evenly.
Cover and refrigerate. After 30–45 minutes, stir again to break up any clumps. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Spoon into bowls or jars. Top with fruit, granola, coconut cream, or your preferred toppings. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use fresh, high-quality chia seeds for the best texture. If too thick, stir in extra milk before serving. To enhance sweetness naturally, try blending in dates or ripe banana.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Can be frozen and thawed overnight in the fridge.
