Description
The classic chia seed pudding only requires three ingredients. On top of this pudding, you can add any kind of fruit, or this strawberry rhubarb compote.
Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Mixture:
- 3 cups coconut milk (full fat/canned)
- ¾ cup chia seeds
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Compote Mixture (Optional):
- 5–6 rhubarb stalks, chopped
- 1½ cups strawberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ⅓ cup water
- top with shredded coconut flakes/cacao nibs
Instructions
- Mix well the first 3 ingredients in a bowl and place in the refrigerator.
- For the optional compote, chop up the fruit and add it to a small pot. Cook over medium heat or until rhubarb is tender, about 8 minutes.
- Add mixture, maple syrup and water into a blender and blend until well combined.
- Distribute chia seed pudding evenly into four glasses and top with the compote, once it has cooled. Place in refrigerator and allow to chill for up to 1 hour.
- Serve topped with shredded coconut flakes and/or cacao nibs.
Notes
- If you want to reduce the calories, use reduced fat coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk.
- Rather than a compote, you can also simply add some fresh fruit: blueberries, strawberries, pineapples, cherries, etc.
- Coconut flakes, raw sliced almonds, hemp seeds and cacao nibs all offer good toppings, with or without fruit.
