Toasted Coconut Chia Pudding

This toasted coconut chia pudding is a wonderfully simple vegan dish that works equally well as a nutritious breakfast or a light, refreshing dessert. By using toasted-coconut almond milk, the pudding takes on a deep, nutty flavour that pairs beautifully with the subtle crunch of the chia seeds. It is an excellent make-ahead option for busy mornings, providing a satisfying dose of fibre and healthy fats to keep you fuelled throughout the day.

Customising this versatile pudding is easy; simply top with a handful of seasonal berries or extra coconut flakes for added texture. As the seeds swell to create a thick, velvety consistency, they absorb the delicate tropical notes of the milk. For the best results, allow the mixture to set fully in the fridge, ensuring a perfect spoonful every time.
