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

  1. 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.
  2. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In serving bowls or jars, layer the chia pudding with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of shredded coconut, creating an appealing visual.
  6. Top with additional blueberries and a few flakes of shredded coconut for presentation. Serve chilled!

💡 Chef's Notes

For a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.
