Blueberry Coconut Chia Pudding Simple and Tasty Recipe
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure 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.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- After refrigeration, stir the pudding well to achieve a smooth consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a splash of coconut milk to reach your desired texture.
- In serving bowls or jars, layer the chia pudding with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of shredded coconut, creating an appealing visual.
- Top with additional blueberries and a few flakes of shredded coconut for presentation. Serve chilled!
