Chia seeds swell and turn gel-like when soaked in liquid, which gives you a pudding with no cooking at all. Stirred into coconut milk with a little maple syrup and vanilla, they set overnight into a creamy, lightly sweet pudding that works for dessert or breakfast. Whisk it again after the first ten minutes to prevent clumps, then let the fridge do the work. Mango, berries or toasted coconut finish it.
Instructions
- Shake the can of coconut milk well, then whisk it in a bowl with the oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until smooth.
- Whisk in the chia seeds. Leave for 10 minutes, then whisk again to break up any clumps.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thick and set.
- Stir the pudding well. If it is too thick, loosen it with a splash of oat milk.
- Layer the pudding with the diced mango in 4 glasses and top with toasted coconut or a little lime zest.
Tips
- Do not skip the second whisk after 10 minutes. Chia seeds sink and clump, and a second stir gives an even set.
- For a smooth, mousse-like texture, blend the set pudding for 20 seconds. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of cocoa for a chocolate version.
Questions and answers
How long does chia pudding last in the fridge?
Covered, it keeps for 4 days. Layer the mango just before serving, because it releases juice as it sits.
Why is my chia pudding watery or too thick?
If it is watery, it needs more time or an extra tablespoon of chia; chill another 2 hours. If it is too thick, stir in a little milk.
Can I use a different milk instead of coconut milk?
Yes. Use any plant milk, such as almond or soy, in the same total amount. The pudding will be lighter and less rich than with coconut milk.
