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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
