Chilled Mocha Chia Parfait

1.In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, cold milk, instant coffee powder, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the coffee and cocoa are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

2.Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick pudding-like consistency.

3.Just before serving, finely chop the dark chocolate and roughly chop the cashew and mixed nuts.

4.In serving glasses or bowls, layer the mocha chia pudding with a sprinkle of chopped dark chocolate and nuts between layers to create a visually appealing parfait.

5.Top the final layer with the remaining chopped nuts and a few pieces of dark chocolate for crunch and garnish.

6.Serve chilled, optionally adding a few ice cubes on the side for extra coolness.
