Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut milk canned or carton
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup adjust for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • Fresh fruit for topping optional, such as mango or berries

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  4. Once the pudding has set, stir in the shredded coconut.
  5. Serve in individual bowls or jars, topped with fresh fruit if desired.
