What is Chia Pudding?

What is chia pudding? Chia pudding is a delicious, 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.

For coconut chia pudding, I’ve taken classic chia pudding and amped up the coconut factor by three. This chia coconut pudding recipe is packed with coconut extract, shredded coconut, toasted coconut, and the base that already includes full-fat coconut milk.

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.

1. Set aside 3 mini jars—these are the jars you will use to store your this recipe.
2. Scoop full-fat coconut milk into a bowl and melt it. Whisk until smooth and liquidy. Whisk in coconut extract and maple syrup to taste. Add more for a sweeter taste, less for a less sweet pudding.

3. Whisk in the chia seeds and coconut shreds until you get a well-mixed coconut cream chia seed pudding mixture. Allow to thicken. Whisk to evenly distribute the chia seeds and work through any clumps that remained.
4. Pour the mixture into the jars. 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.

5. 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.
