Pineapple Coconut Chia Pudding Flavorful Delight Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or from a can)
- 1 quarter cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 quarter teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- to taste fresh pineapple chunks (for topping)
- to taste toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
- to taste mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, and maple syrup. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash more coconut milk or pineapple juice to reach your desired consistency.
- To serve, scoop the chia pudding into individual bowls or glasses. Top with fresh pineapple chunks, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, and garnish with mint leaves.
