Ingredients
  

  • Chia seeds: 1/4 cup (black or white)
  • Unsweetened almond milk: 1 cup (choose plain, not vanilla, for best balance)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons (natural or Dutch-process)
  • Pure maple syrup: 1.5–2 tablespoons, to taste
  • Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pinch of fine sea salt: Optional, enhances chocolate flavor
  • Fresh raspberries: 1/2–1 cup, for topping
  • Optional add-ins: A splash of espresso, a pinch of cinnamon, or shaved dark chocolate for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the base: In a bowl or large jar, whisk almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until the cocoa fully dissolves and no lumps remain.
  • Add chia seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, whisking well so they’re evenly dispersed. This prevents clumping.
  • Stir again after 10 minutes: Let it sit, then whisk once more. This second stir is key for a smooth, even set.
  • Chill to set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
  • Adjust texture: If too thick, whisk in a splash of almond milk. If too thin, stir in 1–2 teaspoons more chia and chill 15–30 minutes.
  • Serve: Spoon into bowls or jars and top with fresh raspberries. Add a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of cocoa if you like.
