2 cups sweetened coconut milk
6 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon agave nectar, or more to taste
teaspoon vanilla extract
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
cup chia seeds
cup diced fresh strawberries (Optional)

Directions

Follow these simple steps to prepare the chia pudding:

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sweetened coconut milk, unsweetened coconut milk, agave nectar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Once the pudding has thickened, stir it gently to combine, then serve topped with fresh strawberries, if desired.

Recipe Tips

You can substitute stevia or sugar for agave nectar, depending on your preference.
Feel free to use milk, soy milk, or almond milk instead of coconut milk, but keep in mind this will change the flavor profile.

Updated Review: Initially, I substituted Stevia for agave in the recipe and added three handfuls of blueberries, resulting in a very tasty and satisfying dish. After making it three times, I decided to omit any sweetener and cinnamon, while increasing the amount of vanilla. In my most recent batch, I used just a can of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of real vanilla, a handful of blueberries, 1/4 cup of finely shredded unsweetened coconut, and chia seeds. The dish turned out plenty sweet without any additional sweeteners and was incredibly delicious. It has successfully satisfied my sweet cravings.

This is now my ultimate favorite dessert! It's not overly sweet, yet it's packed with flavor and really satisfying. I opted for papaya to infuse it with a tropical twist, and a hint of simple syrup made with raw cane sugar elevated it to a whole new level.

I incorporated 500 ml of Kosa coconut milk into my recipe, along with 1 tbsp of vanilla and honey. I also included 1/2 cup of shredded coconut and sprinkled 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.

Review update: This dish was incredibly simple to make and had a delightful taste. It was also quite satisfying. One tip I would recommend is to occasionally stir during the first 20 minutes of cooking as the seeds tend to clump together at the bottom.
