# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It tastes like a rich chocolate dessert but sneaks in fiber and omega 3s without anyone noticing
- The texture becomes incredibly silky after chilling, nothing like the gritty flax preparations you might have tried before
02 -
- The ground flaxseed needs time to work its thickening magic, so do not rush the chilling process
- If you detect any graininess after chilling, a quick whirl in the blender transforms it into absolute silk
03 -
- Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust the sweetness, as flaxseed can vary in flavor intensity
- Use a glass bowl for whisking so you can see when all the cocoa powder has been fully incorporated
