Chocolate Chia Puddings - diary free

My last experiment with Chia seeds went well. This time I wanted to give them a try substituting milk with almond milk to make them dairy free. Almond milk is not a regular ingredient in our house so I froze the half I didn't use.
I worked on the theory that there were so many recipes around, I could just play with ingredients and get an ok result.

It was ok...not amazing but better than feeding my family ice cream!

The recipe I used was...

Chocolate Chai Puddings
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
4 tablespoons of cocoa
2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey or stevia)

8 tablespoons of black Chia seeds

Mix the almond milk, cocoa and maple syrup. It takes a while to get them really combined.
Add Chia seeds and mix.
Go back and stir several times over the next couple of hours.
Leave for a few hours for the seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
