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
Garnishes
- Greek yogurt
- Coffee beans
- Chocolate shavings
- Mix liquids and cocoa: In a mason jar, whisk together the milk, brewed coffee, and cocoa powder until fully combined and the cocoa is dissolved.
- Add chia and sweetener: Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top your chia pudding with Greek yogurt, coffee beans, and chocolate shavings for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using a different sweetener.
- Choose your favorite milk — dairy or plant-based — for the base to suit dietary preferences.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or a stronger brewed coffee.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture before chilling.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
