  • Top: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup white chocolate chips in 10-second increments, stirring between each round. Optionally add coconut oil to help it melt more easily and to make it shiny when hardened.
    Use a spoon to carefully drizzle the chocolate over the chia pudding in a very thin layer (if it's too thick, it won't shatter easily when served). When ready to serve, give everyone a spoon to shatter the chocolate topping and enjoy!
