Base Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds (42g)
- 1 cup So Delicious Vanilla Coconutmilk
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup or maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- Pinch sea salt
Toppings
- Chopped pecans (for garnish)
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or individual jars, whisk together chia seeds, vanilla coconut milk, agave syrup, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, and a pinch of sea salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Adjust Sweetness and Spices: Taste the chia pudding mixture and add more sweetener or pumpkin pie spice if desired to suit your preference.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jars and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and set.
- Serve: Once chilled, remove the pudding from the fridge. If made in a bowl, spoon it into individual serving dishes or enjoy straight from jars.
- Add Toppings: Garnish with chopped pecans and optionally drizzle additional non-dairy milk or creamer over the top before serving for extra creaminess and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture.
- Can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- For a nut-free option, substitute pecans with toasted seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice amount to control the warmth of flavors.
- Maple syrup is a great vegan alternative to agave syrup if preferred.
