Dreamy Creamy Coconut Chia & Cacao Pudding

This is a very simple and adaptable recipe for chia seed pudding. Its ingredients are so versatile you can adjust and make it however you like, but I do enjoy this dreamy coconut version that I tried when I was on Waikiki beach, in Oahu, Hawaii.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk or cream from a can (shake well before opening)
  • 1 1/2  cup coconut milk, silk or other brand
  • 1/3 cup Chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup shredded, unsweetened, coconut, toasted (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon of maple syrup
  • 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

To top after

  • 1/2 cup blue blueberries, or raspberries
  • 1/4 cup cacao nibs

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and stir well. I typically use a 4 cup Pyrex glass jar with a pouring spout.
  • Divide between six small jam jars (about 2/3 cup or 160 ml each) and top with cacao nibs & fruit. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least four hours.
  • Enjoy for breakfast, afternoon, snack or dessert

Helpful notes:

  • For added fiber, you may add 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk to this recipe
  • For a different sweetener, substitute maple syrup with a keto-friendly sweetener or monkfruit
  • You can substitute almond milk, oat milk or organic soy milk for coconut milk.
