Description
Chia coconut pudding is a creamy, nutrient-packed dessert or snack made with coconut milk and chia seeds. It’s a healthy, customizable treat that’s both satisfying and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
In a bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like texture.
- After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to ensure it has a smooth consistency.
- Serve as is or top with fresh fruit, nuts, or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a fruit-infused version, blend fresh fruit like mango, berries, or banana into the coconut milk before mixing with chia seeds.
- For a chocolate twist, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate.
- Consider adding cinnamon or cardamom for a spiced version of the pudding.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. This pudding does not require reheating.
