Chocolate Chia Pudding


3/4 cup cocoa powder 

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup or sugar (add more ore less depending on how much sweetness you'd like)

3 cups almond, cashew or coconut milk
I use one can (13.5 oz) of full fat coconut milk and
1 1/4 cups  cashew milk. If you want a dairy dessert, use regular whole milk or a combination of whole milk and cream. 

3/4 cup chia seeds

Mix the cocoa powder, chia seeds and sweetener together.

Heat the milk without bringing it to a boil. You don't have to heat the milk, but a bit of warmth will speed the absorption process. 

Pour the cocoa mixture into the heated milk and stir until all of the ingredients are well mixed.
Let mixture cool slightly. Pour into ramekins and cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Garnish with fruit, chocolate or whipped cream before serving.
