Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy and nutritious dessert or breakfast option that’s incredibly easy to make. The combination of chia seeds and coconut milk creates a rich texture that’s both satisfying and healthy. Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, making this pudding a guilt-free indulgence.
The coconut adds a tropical flair, turning a simple dish into a delightful treat that can be enjoyed at any time of day. This pudding isn’t only delicious but also versatile. You can customize it with various toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Plus, it can be prepared in advance, allowing you to have a quick and nutritious snack or breakfast ready to go. All you need is a little patience for the pudding to set in the refrigerator, and you’ll have a creamy delight that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh fruits (for topping, optional)
- Shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture together until fully combined, ensuring that there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps that may have formed. This step is essential for achieving a smooth and creamy texture in the final pudding.
- Transfer the chia seed mixture into an airtight container. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and expand, resulting in a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir before serving. Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or jars and top with your choice of fresh fruits, shredded coconut, or any other desired toppings.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy this delicious and healthy treat at any time!
Extra Tips:
For an added flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the mixture before chilling. If you prefer a thinner consistency, simply adjust the amount of coconut milk used.
This pudding can also be made with almond milk or any other non-dairy milk alternatives for a different flavor profile.
Experiment with different toppings like berries, sliced bananas, or nuts to keep things exciting!
