Ingredients

- 5 tbsp maple syrup
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Achieving a heavenly smooth texture is a cornerstone of making your chocolate chia seed pudding a hit.
- Start by adding the chia seeds to a mixing bowl.
- Next add the cocoa powder, followed by the sweetener of your choice, milk & vanilla essence.
- Whisk together continuously until the ingredients are well integrated.
- Once the mixture is well combined, let it rest for a 10 minutes, then stir again, allow it to rest for another 10 mins and stir one last time before your cover it with a food wrap.
- Refrigerate. I typically make this the night before and refrigerate it overnight. However if you are short on time atleast refrigerate for 4 hours.

Notes
Remember the golden ratio: about 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for every 1/2 cup of your chosen non-dairy milk
Let the mixture sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes, then give it another thorough stir.
For an even more refined texture, some adventurers in the kitchen use a blender to lightly pulse the pudding after the initial rest period.
