Creamy Coconut Milk Chia Pudding Delight

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • Fresh berries, sliced banana, or mango (for topping)
  • Shredded coconut or chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Mix Base: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Let it Set: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Stir once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
  4. Check Consistency: After chilling, check the consistency. If it’s too thick, stir in a splash more coconut milk until desired creaminess is reached.
  5. Serve: Divide the chia pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top with fresh berries, sliced banana, or mango. Add a sprinkle of shredded coconut or chopped nuts if desired.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately or keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days for a quick, nourishing treat!
