Method

  1. Mix the 200 g yoghurt or skyr, cocoa powder, optional protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla, salt and syrup. Add a little milk only if you prefer a looser pudding.
  2. Refrigerate the chia mixture for 2–3 hours to thicken.
  3. Spoon the pudding into a small clear jar or serving bowl.
  4. Stir together the 70 g yoghurt and 1 tsp maple syrup. Spread this mixture evenly over the chia pudding.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate and spread or drizzle it over the yoghurt to form a thin, continuous top layer.
  6. Refrigerate overnight, until the chocolate has set into a shell. Crack the shell with a spoon to eat. Serve with berries if desired.
