Description
This easy coconut chia pudding recipe, inspired by the flavor of Raffaello candies, is a creamy, tropical treat that’s perfect for a healthy breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: crushed almonds or white chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, shredded coconut, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to thicken.
- Stir the pudding before serving. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with crushed almonds or white chocolate shavings if desired, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use canned full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy texture.
- You can adjust sweetness to taste or use honey, agave, or a sugar-free sweetener.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
