In a mason jar or bowl, combine the ingredients. Add chia seeds, cover with milk, and add cocoa, maple syrup and vanilla.
Add a pinch of sea salt to the jar, this helps to bring out the chocolate flavour.
Cover the mason jar and shake well, or using a spoon stir well to combine.
Cover and place in the fridge overnight, or at least 2-3 hours. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and become gelatinous in texture, creating a pudding consistency.
In the morning, uncover the pudding and stir to ensure everything is well combined.
Serve with raspberries or fruit and toppings of your choice.
Enjoy!
Notes
I used almond milk in this recipe but any type of non-dairy or dairy milk will work, and if you don’t have maple syrup, honey would work as a sweetener too.
