Instructions

In a bowl, place chia seeds, milk and vanilla and mix together. Chill in the fridge overnight.
When ready to serve, stir with a spoon to break up any clumps. Stir in maple syrup, ¼ cup of the yoghurt and half of the cacao.
Layer into dishes with a few blueberries. Top with kiwifruit and remaining blueberries, cacao and yoghurt, if desired. Serve chilled.
You can use vanilla essence if you don’t have paste, but the flavour will be less intense.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Check almond milk and Greek-style yoghurt are gluten free.
