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.
