Method

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Stir vigorously for at least 1 minute until mixed. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Scoop the thick cream from a chilled can of coconut milk into a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add mint extract and matcha green tea powder to the whipped coconut cream and gently fold until fully incorporated.
In serving cups, layer the chia pudding followed by the whipped mint coconut cream. Repeat layering until cups are filled, reserving some cream for the top.
Chill the layered cups for 15-30 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and dark chocolate shavings.
