Description
Delicious Coconut Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy and easy dessert, perfect to make ahead as breakfast or sweet snacks.
Ingredients
- Coconut Milk: The creamy base of the pudding, offering a rich coconut flavor. Use full-fat for a thicker pudding.
- Chia Seeds: These seeds swell and thicken the pudding, adding a nice texture along with nutritional benefits.
- Maple Syrup or Honey: A natural sweetener that can be adjusted to taste. Maple syrup is great for a vegan option.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm and sweet aroma that complements the coconut flavor perfectly.
- Fresh Fruit or Coconut Flakes: Optional toppings for added flavor and texture that enhances the presentation.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or honey), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Whisk the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring that no lumps remain.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Once thickened, give the pudding a good stir and divide it into serving bowls.
- Top with fresh fruit or coconut flakes if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious coconut chia seed pudding!
Notes
- Make it Overnight: For best results, prepare the pudding the night before so it’s ready to eat in the morning.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding after it has thickened and add more sweetener if needed. Everyone’s preference varies.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding cocoa powder for chocolate flavor, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a fall twist.
