In a mixing jug add the chia seeds, stevia, orange essence and cocoa powder. Mix together with a metal spoon and then add the almond milk. Give it a really good mix until everything is combined and the mixture starts to thicken up as the chia absorbs the milk.
In a mortar and pestle crush the Cashew nuts and set aside. Alternatively if you haven't got one, a rolling pin and chopping board will suffice.
Add the runny honey to the chia mix and a tiny pinch of table salt. Stir once more then see how thick the consistency is. If you think it needs a dash more milk at this point, add it in as everyone likes their chia at different thicknesses, as it will set more solid in the fridge. Spoon the mixture into three containers of your choice. I used small glass tumblers. Ramekins could also work.
Dollop 1tsp of the chocolate spread onto each pudding. Sprinkle over the crushed cashews between the three and also the dark chocolate chips. Finish with a tiny pinch of cacao nibs over each one.
Place the puddings into the fridge to set for up to one hour, or until the chia has fully absorbed the milk and set to a more solid consistency.
I enjoy having these as a breakfast, but they would also make a great dessert or sweet treat any time of day. There is approx 437kcals in each portion. Enjoy! :)
