Main Ingredients
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt thoroughly.
- Whisk Mixture: Whisk the ingredients vigorously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Allow to Thicken: Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
- Transfer to Dish: Pour the mixture into a lined baking dish and spread it evenly to prepare for setting.
- Refrigerate: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the pudding has fully set into a firm consistency.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, cut the chia pudding into bars and enjoy this cool, zesty treat.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for creamier bars or light coconut milk for a lighter version.
- Adjust sweetness by using more or less honey or maple syrup as preferred.
- For an extra tropical twist, add diced pineapple or mango before refrigerating.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Ensure the baking dish is lined with parchment paper for easier removal of bars.
