Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (canned or carton)
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, unsweetened coconut milk, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
  2. Allow to Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding consistency.
  3. Stir and Adjust: After chilling, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure even texture. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  4. Serve with Toppings: Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top with mixed berries, sprinkle with shredded coconut, and garnish with fresh mint leaves as desired.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat for a refreshing, healthy treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your preference, or omit sweetener for a more natural flavor.
  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat canned coconut milk.
  • Make sure to stir the pudding once or twice during the first hour of chilling to prevent clumping.
  • The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
