¼ cup cacao powder (25 grams) or unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
5 tablespoons powdered Monk Fruit sweetener (or maple syrup—see note)
1 (13.5 FL oz/398 ml) can coconut milk or 1 ½ cup/350 ml cashew milk (a bit extra if needed—see instructions)
6 tablespoons chia seeds 65 grams

Combine cacao, cinnamon powder, and sweetener in a medium bowl.
¼ cup cacao powder (25 grams), ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder, 5 tablespoons powdered Monk Fruit sweetener
Stir in the milk and whisk until well combined.
1 (13.5 FL oz/398 ml) can coconut milk
Add the seeds. Stir until well combined and the seeds are well incorporated into the chocolatey liquid.
6 tablespoons chia seeds
Place covered in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours or overnight (best for meal prep). The chocolate chia pudding will thicken in the fridge.
Place the thick chocolate mixture into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you've used coconut milk, you can opt to add ¼ cup extra milk to obtain a thinner consistency (optional). You don't need extra milk to blend if you've used cashew or any other nut milk.
Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as blueberries and coconut shreds, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Helpful Tips:

You can double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.
You need a high-speed blender. The amount of ingredients should be enough to allow the blades to properly blend.
Taste test the sweetness. Usually, 5 tablespoons of powdered Monk fruit sweetener gives you a lovely subtle sweetness. Only add more if needed.
If preferred, use maple syrup as a sweetener instead. Start with 3 tablespoons and taste test. Add more only if needed.
For garnishes, use fresh berries, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or crunchy steel-cut granola oats.
