Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (13.5 ounces / 400 milliliters) can full-fat coconut milk
- ½ cup (80 grams) chia seeds
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Toppings:
- Fresh fruit (berries, mango, banana)
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Nuts or seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds)
- Granola
- Drizzle of honey or chocolate syrup
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, combine the silky coconut milk with tiny chia seeds, drizzling in maple syrup for natural sweetness, then introduce vanilla extract and a delicate sprinkle of salt. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring a smooth and uniform blend that promises a creamy texture.
- Transfer the liquid mixture into clean glass containers or a sealed bowl, creating an inviting canvas for transformation. Allow the pudding to rest and develop in the refrigerator’s cool embrace for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight, enabling the chia seeds to slowly absorb the liquid and metamorphose into a luxurious, pudding-like consistency.
- After the initial hour of chilling, gently interrupt the setting process by stirring the mixture. This intervention prevents potential seed clustering and promotes even thickening. Taste the developing pudding and calibrate the sweetness level by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- Once the pudding has achieved a luscious, spoonable texture, give it a final gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients. Elegantly portion the chilled creation into serving vessels, then embellish with an artistic arrangement of fresh berries, crunchy granola, shredded coconut, or sliced almonds for textural contrast and visual appeal.
Notes
- Prevent clumping by whisking chia seeds thoroughly into coconut milk, ensuring even distribution and smooth texture.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond, oat, or cashew milk for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Boost nutritional value by adding protein powder, collagen, or superfood powders like maca or spirulina during initial mixing.
- Control sweetness levels by gradually adding maple syrup, tasting as you go to achieve perfect balance without overwhelming natural flavors.
