Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (light coconut milk recommended)
- 2–3 tbsp Chia seeds
- 2 tsp Cocoa powder
- 1–2 tbsp Maple syrup or Honey
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract or Vanilla bean paste
- 2 Green cardamom pods, seeds crushed
Toppings
- Coconut cream
- Shaved chocolate
- Goji berries
- Or any preferred fruits, nuts, granola, or seeds
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and crushed green cardamom seeds. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or cocoa intensity according to your preference.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: The next morning, stir the pudding thoroughly. If it feels too thick, add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. Taste once more and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the pudding with coconut cream, shaved chocolate, and goji berries or any other toppings of your choice like fruits, nuts, granola, or seeds. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Use light coconut milk for a lower fat version, or full-fat for richer pudding.
- Maple syrup or honey can be substituted for other sweeteners based on preference or dietary needs.
- Crushing the cardamom seeds releases fresh flavor; you can omit if unavailable.
- Letting the pudding chill overnight is essential for best texture.
- Customize your toppings to add texture and flavors you love.
