Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
  • 1 4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0 optional toasted coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
  2. Stir in the chia seeds until evenly distributed in the mixture.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes before stirring again to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the chia pudding has thickened to a creamy consistency.
  5. When ready to serve, divide the chia pudding into serving glasses or bowls.
  6. Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the pudding, creating a decorative pattern.
  7. If desired, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for an extra crunch and tropical flavor.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the pudding in clear glasses to showcase the vibrant red strawberries against the creamy white pudding. Top with a sprig of mint for an extra pop of color.
