This delightful and easy-to-make treat combines the classic flavors of coffee and cocoa with the added nutritional benefits of chia seeds.

Chia seeds have gained popularity in recent years due to their numerous health benefits. SIMPLi's Regenerative Organic Certified® Chia Seeds are packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. When soaked in liquid, chia seeds expand and develop a gelatinous texture, making them an excellent base for this creamy pudding.

Instructions 

1. Chocolate layer: whisk the chia seeds, cocoa powder, coconut milk and maple syrup together in a bowl. Whisk until all the cocoa powder is incorporated. Then cover and place in the fridge to set.

Optionally serve with a scoop of the solids from the coconut milk and a dusting of cocoa powder.
