Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Coconut Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, combine the **coconut milk**, **chia seeds**, and **vanilla extract**. Stir well to ensure all the seeds are evenly distributed throughout the milk.

Allow the mixture to sit for about **10 minutes**, then give it another good stir. This will help prevent the chia seeds from clumping together. Once everything is well mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least **2 hours** or overnight for best results.

Step 2

Make the Strawberry Jam

While the pudding is setting, prepare the **strawberry jam**. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the **fresh strawberries**, **lemon juice**, and **honey or maple syrup**. Cook for about **10-15 minutes**, stirring occasionally until the strawberries have broken down and the mixture thickens.

Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool. You can mash the strawberries further if you prefer a smoother jam or leave it chunky for more texture.

Step 3

Assemble and Serve

Once the pudding has set, spoon it into bowls or glasses. Top each serving with a generous **layer of strawberry jam**. You can garnish with additional fruits or a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

This delicious dessert is not only healthy but also **satisfying** and perfect for any time of the day!

Servings

When it comes to serving this delightful chia pudding, the world is your oyster! 🎉 Consider layering it in clear glasses for a beautiful presentation, showcasing the rich colors of the coconut and berry jam.

Pair it with a light and crunchy granola for a delightful contrast, or enjoy it alongside a warm cup of herbal tea for a cozy afternoon treat. ☕️ This pudding makes a fantastic breakfast option too! Enjoy it with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of honey for a tasty start to your day.

And don’t be shy! Feel free to get creative with toppings. Whether you choose nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, the options are endless and delicious. Your guests will be raving about this simple yet elegant dessert!
