Ingredients
-
1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
-
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
-
1/4 cup chia seeds
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
-
Optional: chopped almonds or crushed Raffaello candies for topping
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and shredded coconut until well combined.
-
Stir in the chia seeds and mix thoroughly to prevent clumping.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
-
Give it a good stir before serving. If it’s too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up.
-
Serve topped with more shredded coconut, chopped almonds, or crushed Raffaello for that classic coconut-almond flavor.
Notes
-
For a sweeter pudding, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup.
-
You can blend the mixture before refrigerating for a smoother texture.
-
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days—great for meal prep!
