Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh coconut flakes, toasted (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a medium bowl to avoid lumps.
- Add 1 cup (240 ml) of coconut milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey, a pinch of sea salt, and optional ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Whisk vigorously until smooth and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl or transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight, stirring once halfway through to break up clumps.
- After chilling, check consistency; if too thick, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen.
- Spoon pudding into serving glasses or jars and garnish with toasted coconut flakes, a sprinkle of matcha powder, or fresh fruit like sliced kiwi or berries.
Notes
Whisk matcha powder with coconut milk first to avoid lumps. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess. Chill at least 2 hours for proper thickening. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Adjust sweetness gradually to balance matcha’s natural bitterness.
