Let’s dive into this tropical delight!

Ingredients You’ll Need for Your Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding:

• 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk: This is the secret to that super creamy, decadent texture!
• 1/4 cup chia seeds: Our little powerhouses of fiber and omega-3s!
• 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries: For that gorgeous color and sweet-tart flavor. (Frozen will work just fine!)
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (or your preferred sweetener): Adjust to your sweetness preference.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: For that extra touch of deliciousness.
• Pinch of salt: To balance out the sweetness.

How to Make Your Tropical Chia Seed Pudding:

It couldn’t be easier, I promise!

1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl or a large jar, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, your chosen sweetener (start with 1 tbsp and add more later if needed), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Make sure it’s all nicely combined.
2. Add the Superstars: Gently stir in the chia seeds and the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, give them a little mash with a fork as you add them to release some of their juices.
3. Mix, Mix, Mix! This is the most important step for preventing clumps! Stir everything really well, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Give it another good stir after about 5 minutes to break up any clumps that might be forming.
4. Chill Out: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to work their magic and create that thick, pudding-like consistency.
5. Serve and Enjoy! Once chilled and thickened, give it another stir. Spoon into bowls, add your favorite toppings (more on that later!), and dig in!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Chia Pudding:

Q: Can I use a different type of milk instead of coconut milk?

A: Absolutely! While full-fat coconut milk gives you the richest, creamiest texture, you can definitely use almond milk, oat milk, or even dairy milk. Just be aware that the consistency might be a little thinner.

Q: My chia pudding is too thick/thin. What can I do?

A: No worries! If it’s too thick, simply stir in a little more milk (a tablespoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, it might need a little more chilling time, or you can stir in another tablespoon of chia seeds and let it sit for another 30 minutes.

Q: How long does chia pudding last in the fridge?

A: Chia pudding is best enjoyed within 3-4 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Pro Tips for Blueberry Coconut Chia Seed Pudding Perfection:

• Blueberry Boost: For an even more intense blueberry flavor, you can lightly mash half of your blueberries before adding them to the mixture.
• Layer It Up: Make it a visually stunning treat by layering the pudding with fresh blueberries and a dollop of coconut yogurt in a clear glass or jar.
• Texture Play: Don’t be afraid to experiment with toppings! Toasted coconut flakes, sliced almonds, a sprinkle of granola, a few extra fresh blueberries, or even a drizzle of more maple syrup all add delightful textures and flavors.
• Make it a Parfait: Layer this pudding with your favorite granola and fresh fruit for a beautiful and filling parfait.
• Frozen Fruit Fun: If you’re using frozen blueberries, you can also blend them with the coconut milk for a smoother, more vibrant purple pudding base.
