Equipment
Ingredients
- 14.5 ounce can coconut milk (full-fat or light)
- 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (taste and adjust sweetness as needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- fresh fruit for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Add the ingredients to a medium bowl and stir well.
- (Or, add to a blender and blend very smooth. I leave the blender running for abouu a minute. This is a better option if you want a creamy, pudding-like texture.)
- Cover and refrigerate, or divide into smaller containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. The mixture will firm up into a pudding-like texture as the chia seeds absorb the liquid and plump up.
- Serve cold with berries, if desired.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. This is best served cold.
- Use ground chia seeds for a smoother final consistency. Note that they are sometimes more bitter tasting.
- Use nondairy yogurt as needed.
- To make this with regular milk instead of coconut milk, I would reduce the volume to 1 cup to ensure the final mixture is thick enough.
- Have for breakfast or snack as you like.
- Top with whipped cream if desired.
- Serve with strawberries or other fruit on top if desired.
