Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add chia seeds, unsweetened coconut milk, water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed and do not clump together.
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, let it sit overnight to fully thicken and allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
After chilling, stir the pudding well to make sure it has a consistent texture.
Serve the chia pudding in small bowls or glasses, dividing it evenly among four servings.
If desired, garnish with fresh berries and a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top before serving for added flavor and texture.
