Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 4 hours hrs
- 1/4 cup Chia Seeds
- 1 cup Full-Fat Coconut Milk
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt (Optional)
1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds and a pinch of salt. This ensures even distribution before adding liquids.
2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the creamy coconut milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until well combined.
3. Mix thoroughly: Use a whisk or fork to mix the ingredients. Make sure there are no clumps of seeds.
4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the seeds to absorb the liquid and the pudding to set.
5. Stir and serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If it's too thick, add a splash more coconut milk.
6. Customize: Top your pudding with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup. Enjoy this satisfying and wholesome treat.
