  • Total Time: 47 minute
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup / 80g chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup / 60ml maple syrup or agave nectar
  • Zest of 1 large lime
  • Juice of 1/2 large lime (about 2 tbsp / 30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon / 5ml vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup / 140g almonds or cashews (for optional crust)
  • 1/2 cup / 45g shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup / 45g Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tablespoon / 15ml melted coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the optional crust by blending almonds/cashews, shredded coconut, pitted dates, melted coconut oil, and salt in a food processor until clumpy. Press into an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup/agave nectar, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow chia seeds to expand; whisk again to break up clumps.
  4. Pour the chia pudding over the prepared crust (or directly into a lined pan if making crustless) and spread evenly.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  6. Once firm, lift out using parchment paper, cut into squares or bars, and top with toasted coconut flakes and extra lime zest.
