Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup coconut milk (carton preferred for lighter texture)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or preferred sweetener (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Hull and chop fresh strawberries into small pieces to ensure they blend smoothly and evenly distribute throughout the pudding.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chopped strawberries, coconut milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup (if using). Add vanilla extract for additional flavor, if desired.
- Stir and Refrigerate: Stir the mixture thoroughly to avoid any clumps of chia seeds. Cover and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir Again and Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding to distribute any settled seeds and give it a creamy texture. Top with additional fresh strawberries or nuts if desired. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- This recipe requires no cooking, making it quick and easy, ideal for hot weather.
- Using carton coconut milk results in a lighter pudding, but canned coconut milk can be used for a richer, creamier texture.
- If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can briefly blend the strawberries and coconut milk before adding chia seeds.
- Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of maple syrup or sweetener.
