Instructions
- 1
Make the chia layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, and 1 tsp maple syrup until combined. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Divide evenly among 4 serving glasses (about 3 tbsp per glass) and refrigerate while you prepare the mousse.

Open the chilled cans of coconut cream and scoop only the thick, solidified cream into a large mixing bowl, leaving behind any liquid. Sift the matcha powder through a fine-mesh sieve directly over the cream to prevent lumps.
