This chocolate chia pudding (Mousse) looks like a sinful indulgence and yes is indeed incredible and rich and divine in every way but don't be fooled, its 100X more healthy than any normal mouse or pudding. Its a decadent treat you can feel good about! Packed with protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids!
Chocolate Mousse:
Makes about
2 cups
Ingredients:
1 can organic coconut milk
1/4 cup mamma chia organic chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut sugar or maple syrup (or to taste)
3 Tablespoons unsweetened cacao powder (or to taste -some cacao is stronger than others)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

METHOD
Add all ingredients to your blender and blend on the highest speed until smooth (aprox 1 min).

Here is a homemade vegan chocolate peanut butter sauce with toasted dried coconut and banana annnnd just enough vegan chocolate shavings to take you straight to the moon!
Tips:
You can use a different type of nut milk. Coconut is nice and creamy! To get similar consistency with out coconut milk you can put in a half an avocado with a different choice of milk (and no you cannot taste the avo) :)
Wash your blender immediately after so chia seeds don't bind to it! I put in a few cups of water, some soap and blend for a 1 minute to get it clean instantly!
You can freeze this into popsicles!
