What is Chia Pudding? How About Coconut Chia Pudding?

You may be intrigued by the idea of pudding made with chia seeds, or tickled by the idea of coconut-infused chia pudding… but you might not know what it is exactly. I’m here to explain!

What is Chia Pudding, Anywho?

Chia pudding is a delicious, non-baked, no-cook recipe for a dessert-worthy pudding that’s made with chia seeds. The chia seeds are used to thicken the sweetened mixture to create a pudding-like texture.

Okay, so what is Coconut Chia Pudding?

So now that you know what chia pudding is all about, you’re left wondering what the heck coconut chia pudding is. Well, I’ve taken classic chia pudding and amped up the coconut factor by three. As a result, today’s chia coconut pudding is packed with coconut extract, shredded coconut, toasted coconut, and the base that already includes full-fat coconut milk. Coconut Lovers, you’ve come to the right place.

How to Make Coconut Chia Pudding with Coconut Milk

Today, we’re going to learn how to make coconut chia pudding with coconut milk! Make sure to use full-fat coconut milk, since reduced fat coconut milk will be too liquidy for the right pudding texture and taste.

First, set aside 3 mini jars—these are the jars you will use to store your chia coconut pudding.

Second, scoop the contents of the full-fat coconut milk can into a bowl and melt it. Whisk until smooth and fully liquidy.

Next, whisk in coconut extract and maple syrup to taste. You’ll want to add more for a sweeter taste, less for a less sweet pudding.

After, add the chia seeds and coconut shreds into the same bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.

Then, allow the chia seed pudding mixture to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Once thickened, whisk to evenly distribute the chia seeds and work through any clumps that remained. You’ve just created your chia pudding with coconut milk mixture!

Now, pour the mixture into the jars from earlier. You can use a measuring cup with a lip for easier pouring (mine is 1/4 cup), or a spoon that will fit into the jar.

Lastly, cover and refrigerate the jars for 2-4 hours, or overnight. Serve with coconut whip or toasted coconut and enjoy!

How Long Can I Keep This Coconut Chia Seed Pudding For?

If you use fresh ingredients, you can keep your coconut chia seed pudding for 5-7 days. Remember, the less fresh the ingredients, the fewer days you can keep your pudding. Same applies for Chocolate Chia Pudding (Coconut Milk).

    Seriously Demeter, have you thought about putting together a cookbook? I know it would be hard work, but you already have so many recipes and categories. It could spread the word about Beaming Baker. I know I’d buy it! 😋
