Pro Tips
- Maintain a 1:4 ratio of chia seeds to liquid for optimal pudding consistency. For example, 1/4 cup chia seeds to 1 cup coconut milk.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly for 1-2 minutes initially, then again after 5 minutes, to prevent chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier pudding texture. Light coconut milk will yield a thinner result.
- Adjust sweetness with maple syrup, honey, or dates to your preference. A pinch of salt can balance and enhance the flavors.
