Ingredients

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot brewed coffee
1/4 cup chia seeds
3/4 cup plain, unsweetened soy milk (or any plant-based milk)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

Add the cocoa powder and hot coffee to a small mixing bowl and whisk well. Add the rest of the ingredients to and whisk well to combine. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours until firm or overnight. Try to whisk again in the first 5-10 minutes of chilling as some clumps may form.

Notes

Chilling time: Although it's easiest to chill the chia pudding overnight, I find that it usually set within a couple of hours of chilling (about 2 hours).
For smooth texture: Don't like the lumpy texture of chia pudding? Simply add your chia pudding to a blender before chilling and puree until smooth. This recipe blends best in a single serving smoothie cup. For best results, double or triple the recipe is you want to blend in your smoothie pitcher.
Topping suggestions: fresh fruit, granola, chopped nuts, nut butter, cocoa nibs, chocolate shavings, coconut chips, crumbled cookies, vegan whipped cream.
