Coconut Chia Pudding is a quick and easy recipe, great a healthy breakfast or dessert. Enjoy a topping of freshly chopped apples and pears, crushed raw almonds and hazelnuts, and a light drizzle of pure maple syrup. Note: This recipe will serve 2-4 portions in your jars, depending on how much pudding you want with your fruit topping.
Shake your coconut can lightly before opening and pour into a mixing bowl.
Add the vanilla essence, cinnamon and water to the bowl of coconut milk. Mix lightly.
Pour the Chia Seeds into the mixture. Stir slowly with a fork while doing it, to help separate the chia seeds and prevent clumps forming. Stir for a bit, and then leave to rest a little. Then repeat. Keep stirring a few times over the next 10-15 minutes, as it slowly starts to set. Note: Continue stirring with a fork, or use a manual or electric blender and blend gently.
Pour mixture into glass jar containers, cover with a lid and let them set for at least 6 hours in the fridge.
Just before eating the Coconut Chia Pudding, prepare the toppings.
Wash and cut up the apple and pear into smallish pieces. Set aside in a bowl.
Crush the raw almonds lightly. Simply press down on them with a glass tumbler onto a side plate - This works nicely, breaking them up roughly which adds a great texture.
Take the jars of Coconut Chia Pudding out of the fridge, and add the fruit and then nuts on top. For some extra sweetness, drizzle a little pure maple syrup over the top. Enjoy!
