In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Stir in the chia seeds until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.
While the mixture is setting, toast the almonds. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are golden brown and aromatic.
Once the chia mixture has set, remove it from the refrigerator and give it a stir to ensure it's well mixed.
Divide the dessert mixture into serving bowls.
Top each serving with a sprinkle of toasted almonds and a few dairy-free chocolate chips for added texture and sweetness.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
