Chocolate Chia Mousse
Chocolate Chia Mousse blends almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla into a smooth, creamy dessert with a subtle chocolate flavor and a unique chia texture. Blending the ingredients thoroughly creates a mousse-like consistency that can be enjoyed immediately or chilled for a firmer pudding. This dairy-free dessert offers a more wholesome alternative to traditional chocolate mousse.

Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 6 Tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup maple syrup honey or sweetener of choice*
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- berries chocolate chips, nuts, for topping, fresh
Instructions
- Add almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt into a high powered blender. Start at a low setting on your blender (variable on the Vitamix) and progress to high. Blend until chia seeds are almost undetectable and mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed.
- Chia pudding should be thick and ready to enjoy so you can top with your favorite toppings and dive in or if you like your chocolate pudding cold, transfer to a resealable container, cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours to chill before eating.

Notes
- Using a high-powered blender yields a smoother, creamier mousse texture.
- If you don't have a high-powered blender, expect a typical chia pudding texture with noticeable seeds.
- Stevia or monkfruit sweeteners can replace maple syrup for a lower sugar option.
