Chocolate coconut chia pudding

Chia seeds have been floating around in recipes on reddit for months, but aside from not wanting to drop two hours worth of wages on a bag from Holland and Barrett I couldn't find them anywhere in London. Then by chance I wandered into the Phoenicia in Kentish town, which I highly recommend everyone goes to, if only just for the display of amazing looking cakes and olives in the window. While I was wandering around wondering what glorious mediterranean food I could make with what they sold, I spotted a little packet of chia seeds for £3.99. While still expensive, waay cheaper than the £15 Holland and Barrett wanted for something I had no idea if I liked. I've since ordered a bigger batch from ebay because I love them, and love this recipe!

Ingredients (makes 2 large portions of pudding)

250ml Unsweetened Almond Milk

40g Chia seeds ( 2 heaped tablespoons)

20g Unsweetened dessicated coconut

10g Cocoa

1 teaspoon of hermesetas liquid sweetener- depending on how sweet you want it.

You will also need one jar, or large shakable container.

1.  Measure all your ingredients into the jar.
2. Give it a quick stir with a spoon.
3. Affix the lid to your jar/ container.
4. Shake it like you're making a cocktail/ shaking a polaroid picture/ doing the harlem shake
5. Put it in the fridge.
6. Wait, it's normally ready after 3/4 hours but I tend to leave it overnight just to give the chia seeds a really good soak.

Put into a lovely wine glass to serve if you want it to look a bit posh, or like me, are at a stand off with your flatmates over who needs to wash up all the crockery.
