Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh fruit (berries, mango, banana)
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Nuts or seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds)
  • Granola
  • Drizzle of honey or chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate:
    • Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to individual jars or containers.
    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  3. Stir and Adjust:
    • After the first hour of chilling, stir the mixture to prevent clumping.
    • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Serve:
    • Once set, give the pudding a good stir and portion it into bowls or glasses.
    • Add your favorite toppings and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use light coconut milk or a mix of coconut milk and almond milk.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version or a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
