Cacao Chia Mousse

Everyone likes to make chia puddings and everyone loves chocolate, right? Well they both have been blowing up my Instagram feed lately! I decided to of course create recipes that are a little different, healthier, but never comprising flavor. This creamy mousse is loaded with antioxidants and inflammatory ingredients and I bet even the kiddos will indulge!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup New Barn Almond Milk

  • 1/3 cup whole chia seeds

  • 1 tablespoon cacao butter

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder

  • 1/2 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • sweetener: 5-6 dates or 10-15 drops of stevia

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except sweetener to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine very well.
  2. Let rest covered in the fridge overnight or at least 3 hours. (It should become a pudding-like consistency, thick)
  3. Add mixture to a blender with sweetener of choice.  Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for a couple days.
  5. Serve chilled with favorite toppings: I suggest berries, coconut shreds, cacao nibs, new barn ice cream, or coconut whipped cream.
