Creamy Chia Seed Pudding with Coconut Milk


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 5 minutes + chill time

Ingredients

  • Chia Seeds – 3 tablespoons (white or black)
  • Full-fat Coconut Milk – 1 cup (for maximum creaminess)
  • Maple Syrup or Honey – 1-2 tablespoons (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Vanilla Extract – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt – A tiny pinch to enhance the flavor

Optional toppings:

  • Fresh fruits (mango, strawberries, blueberries)
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Granola
  • Nuts & seeds
  • Cacao nibs or dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

Step 1: Mix Chia Seeds and Coconut Milk

In a mixing bowl or a mason jar, combine the chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir well to avoid clumping.

Step 2: Add Flavoring

Add in your sweetener of choice (maple syrup or honey), vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir again until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Let it Sit

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. This step helps prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom.

Step 4: Chill and Thicken

Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and swell, creating a thick pudding-like consistency.

Step 5: Serve and Top

Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. Spoon it into serving bowls or jars and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or other toppings.
