Notes
-

-
You can also adjust the density of the dessert by varying the amount of liquid ingredients or chia seeds.
-
This chocolate dessert is a perfect alternative to high-calorie cream-chocolate mousses and can easily fit into your daily diet, or serve as a snack throughout the day.
-
If you prefer, you can swap the sweetener for maple syrup, though it will make the dessert more caloric.
