A luscious, velvety chia pudding bowl made with full-fat coconut milk, fresh berries, and a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Perfect for a healthy, indulgent breakfast or a festive Valentine’s treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (almonds or pistachios)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, pour 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk. Add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute to distribute the seeds evenly and avoid clumps.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon if using. Mix well to combine all flavors.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Stir every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours if in a hurry.
  4. After chilling, stir the pudding well. If too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to loosen.
  5. Slice fresh strawberries and gather raspberries. Toast coconut flakes lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Chop nuts if desired.
  6. Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top with fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, and chopped nuts.
  7. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Notes

Whisk thoroughly to avoid clumps. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Let pudding chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Toast coconut flakes and nuts for added texture and flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste. For ultra-smooth texture, blend briefly before chilling.
