Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
Garnish
- Greek yogurt
- Coffee beans
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Mix liquids and cocoa: In a mason jar, whisk together the milk, brewed coffee, and cocoa powder until the cocoa is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add chia and sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and the pudding will sweeten evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for creaminess, and decorate with coffee beans and chocolate shavings for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use any milk of choice such as almond, oat, dairy, or soy to customize flavor and dietary needs.
- Brewed coffee should be cooled before mixing to prevent the chia seeds from clumping.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar depending on preference.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and vegan yogurt.
- Adjust cocoa powder amount to taste for a stronger or milder chocolate flavor.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
