Mascarpone Cream Chia Pudding: Mix the warmed non dairy milk, almond extract and salt. Add chia seeds and let sit for 15 minutes to thicken. then fold in lemon juice. (Fold in 2-3 tbsp whipped coconut cream for creamier layer).
Taste and adjust sweet. Add a tsp or so more chia seeds to either pudding layer if not thickened to preference.
Add spoonfuls into serving containers (I use weck jars and layer chocolate then cream layer). Top with 1-2 tbsp whipped coconut cream or just coconut cream. Dust with cocoa powder. Chill for a few hours and serve. You can also add granola or fresh fruits on top to serve.Store: Refrigerate for upto 3 days.
