Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh fruits (like mango, kiwi, or berries) for topping

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine the Bases: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and almond milk until well blended.

    Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will help them absorb liquid as they sit.

      Flavor It Up: Add shredded coconut, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt into the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to expand and thicken the mixture into a pudding consistency.

          Serve and Garnish: Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps. Spoon the pudding into serving dishes or jars. Top with your choice of fresh fruits and a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut. Optionally, add mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

            Enjoy: Your tropical coconut cream chia pudding is ready to be enjoyed! Perfect for breakfast, a healthy snack, or a light dessert.
