Description

This Coconut Chia Seed Pudding with Tropical Fruit is a creamy, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly dessert or breakfast option packed with healthy chia seeds and fresh tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and kiwi. Sweetened lightly with maple syrup and infused with vanilla, it offers a refreshing, nutrient-rich treat that requires no cooking and is perfect for a quick, wholesome start to your day or a light snack.

Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

Chia Seed Mixture

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup diced mango
  • 1/2 cup diced pineapple
  • 1/4 cup sliced kiwi
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (toasted or raw)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquids and swelling.
  3. Stir Again: After 10 minutes, stir the mixture well again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  5. Serve: When ready, spoon the chia pudding into individual bowls or jars. Top evenly with diced mango, pineapple, kiwi, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
  6. Garnish and Enjoy: Add fresh mint leaves if desired and serve chilled for a refreshing tropical treat.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
  • For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of lime juice or a pinch of cinnamon to the pudding mixture.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days, making this an excellent make-ahead breakfast or snack.
