Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk, 1/2 cup chia seeds, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens and becomes creamy.
  3. Step 3: While the pudding sets, toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: To serve, stir the pudding gently and spoon into individual bowls or glasses. Top each serving with 1/4 cup fresh pineapple chunks, a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds, and 1/2 tbsp toasted shredded coconut.
  5. Step 5: Enjoy chilled as a refreshing summer dessert or breakfast option.
