Mint Chocolate Chia Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, mix together the chia seeds and milk. Stir until the chia seeds are well coated.

   Tip: Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to soak.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar, cocoa powder, and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the saucepan and ensure the mixture is well combined.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the mint extract and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Be careful when handling the hot saucepan.

4. 4

   Add the dark chocolate chips to the saucepan and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt.

   Tip: Stir the mixture gently until the chocolate is fully incorporated.

5. 5

   Pour the chocolate mixture into a separate bowl and stir in the salt until dissolved.

   Tip: Make sure the salt is fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.

6. 6

   Add the chia seed pudding to the chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.

   Tip: Be patient and stir slowly to avoid creating air pockets.

7. 7

   Spoon the pudding into individual serving cups or a large serving dish.

   Tip: Cover the pudding with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

8. 8

   Serve chilled and garnish with additional mint leaves, if desired.

   Tip: You can also top with whipped cream or chopped nuts, if you prefer.
