Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate (approximately 6 oz)
  • 1 1/3 cups unsweetened milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds (either black or white)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Melt 1 cup chopped dark chocolate using your preferred method:
    Stovetop: Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pan over low heat. Stir constantly until just melted, then remove from the heat. Microwave: Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate to the blender.
  • Add 1 1/3 cups unsweetened milk of choice, 1/4 cup chia seeds, optional 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to the blender.
  • Blend for approximately 1 minute.
  • Transfer to a container and chill for 1 hour before serving. Store in the fridge for up to three days, but note that the texture becomes firmer (similar to mousse cake) the longer it’s chilled.

Notes

  • Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
