Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly for about one minute to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom.
Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk again briefly. This second whisking helps achieve a creamier texture.
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Stir the pudding before serving. If it is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve cold with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a thicker, lower-carb version suitable for keto diets, substitute the maple syrup with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit drops.
Use only the thick cream from the top of the canned coconut milk for the richest, creamiest texture.
This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
To make this a tropical pudding, add 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut when mixing.
