Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240ml) Unsweetened Coconut Milk (canned, full-fat or light)
- 1/4 cup (40g) Chia Seeds (black or white)
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (or honey, agave, or preferred sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup (approximately) Fresh Fruit (mango, pineapple, berries, kiwi – your choice!)
- 2 tablespoons Toasted Coconut Flakes
- 1 tablespoon Chopped Nuts (almonds, macadamia, pecans - optional)
- Drizzle of Maple Syrup or Honey (optional)
Instructions:
- In a jar or bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Ensure there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover the jar/bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- After chilling, check the consistency. The pudding should be thick. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of coconut milk to reach desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a teaspoon of chia seeds, stir, and chill for another 30 minutes.
- Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top with fresh fruit, toasted coconut flakes, and chopped nuts, if desired. Drizzle with extra maple syrup or honey to taste.
