Description

This Coconut Milk Chia Pudding is luxuriously creamy, naturally sweetened, and packed with fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Made with just a handful of ingredients—full-fat coconut milk, chia seeds, and a touch of maple syrup—it’s the perfect make-ahead breakfast, snack, or dessert. Easy to customize with your favorite toppings like tropical fruit, nuts, or coconut flakes, this wholesome pudding is both delicious and nourishing.


Ingredients

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened)

23 tbsp chia seeds

12 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of cinnamon or other spices (optional)


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Let Sit – Allow the mixture to sit for 10–15 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
  3. Chill – Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, until thickened.
  4. Adjust – Stir before serving. If too thick, add more coconut milk; if too thin, add extra chia seeds and let sit longer.
  5. Serve – Enjoy chilled with toppings like fruit, nuts, or coconut flakes.

Notes

  • Use almond, oat, or cashew milk for a lighter version.
  • Add warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for extra flavor.
  • For a sugar-free option, skip sweeteners or use stevia/monk fruit.
  • Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days.
