Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 6 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup honey, or any sweetener you prefer
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Toppings of your choice: fresh berries chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions
- Add the almond milk, chia seeds, sweetener, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.
- Start blending on a low speed, then slowly increase to a higher speed. This helps everything mix smoothly.
- Blend until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, and the chia seeds are barely noticeable. Stop if needed to scrape down the sides so everything blends evenly.
- Once smooth, the mousse is ready to eat right away. Add your favorite toppings and serve.
- For a colder and firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a sealed container and place it in the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- If your blender is not very powerful, the mixture may not turn completely smooth. In that case, the texture will be closer to regular chia pudding, similar to tapioca.
- For a lower sugar option, you can use alternatives like stevia or monk fruit instead of maple syrup or honey.
