Description
Delicious Coconut Lime Chia Pudding Bars that are refreshing and easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
- After whisking, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. For best results, chill overnight.
- Once the chia pudding is set, line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Pour the chia pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped nuts (if using) on top of the pudding mixture.
- Place the dish back in the refrigerator for another hour to firm up.
- Once firm, lift the pudding out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut it into bars.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, try adding diced mango or pineapple to the pudding mixture before chilling.
- You can also substitute almond milk for coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
