A creamy and refreshing Strawberry Coconut Chia Pudding made with full-fat coconut milk, fresh strawberries, and chia seeds. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla extract, this pudding is a nutritious and easy-to-make no-cook dessert or breakfast option.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

Toppings (Optional)

  • Extra strawberries for topping
  • Coconut flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the chopped strawberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, ensuring the mixture is fully combined for the best texture.
  2. Mix in Chia Seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  3. Initial Rest: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps and promote even thickening.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to thicken and the chia seeds to gelatinize.
  5. Serve: Once the pudding is thickened, give it a good stir and serve topped with fresh strawberries and coconut flakes if desired for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture, but light coconut milk can be substituted for a lighter version.
  • Maple syrup is optional; adjust sweetness according to taste or use alternative sweeteners like honey or agave.
  • Chia seeds need time to absorb liquid and create a gel-like texture; do not skip the refrigeration step.
  • For a smoother pudding, blend longer or strain the mixture before adding chia seeds.
  • This pudding keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it a great make-ahead breakfast or snack.
