Method

1. Place all ingredients (dairy-free milk, chia seeds, cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract) into a high-speed blender.
2. Blend on high for about 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the pudding into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until thickened.
4. Serve the mousse in bowls or glasses topped with coconut whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, and fresh strawberries (or other fruit).

💡 Tips

• For a thicker mousse, refrigerate overnight.
• Use any dairy-free milk you like: almond, oat, or coconut milk all work well.
• If you prefer a sweeter mousse, add a little extra maple syrup.
