Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, cocoa powder, brewed coffee, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly to prevent clumping, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to expand.
  4. Once set, stir the pudding again; if too thick, add a splash of coconut milk.
  5. Spoon the pudding into bowls or jars and add toppings like fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or chopped nuts.
