- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher, melted)

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, melted dark chocolate chips, and salt into the processor.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is well mixed.
Once smooth, add the chia seeds and pulse a few times to incorporate them without completely breaking them down.
Taste the chocolate cream and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more maple syrup.
Divide the mixture into four small serving dishes or ramekins.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the chia seeds to thicken the dessert.
Before serving, top each portion with a few fresh berries for added flavor and a burst of color.
Enjoy this guilt-free decadent chocolate dessert that is both satisfying and heart-friendly.
