½cupnon-dairy chocolate chips(mini preferred + more for garnish)
3tbspmaple syrup
⅓cupslivered almonds
2tbspcocoa powder,sifted
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, add the coconut milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Stir all the ingredients until well-combined, set aside.
In another mixing bowl, add half of the coconut milk chia mixture. Sift in the coco powder, add the chocolate chips, and mix well until all the ingredients are well-incorporated.
Cover both bowls with ceramic wrap or a lid and place into the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours or until both liquids become pudding-like. When ready, let's put it all together.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
In your favorite 4 oz serving glass, first layer the bottom with the coconut chia pudding. Next, layer the chocolate chia pudding until you reach the middle of the glass.
When you reach the middle of the glass, add slivered almonds and chocolate chips. Layer and repeat until all of your ingredients have finished.
Garnish the top of the pudding with more slivered almonds and more mini chocolate chips.
Enjoy immediately or make them ahead and store them in the fridge for up to three days.
Notes
I used coconut milk from Aldi.
Add shredded fresh or dried coconut for more coconut flavor.
If you are feeding a crowd, make sure to double or triple the amount accordingly.
Chia seeds didn't thicken? Add more chia seeds and allow them to sit for an hour or until desired consistency is met.
