Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine Chia Seeds and Coconut Milk

    In a medium-sized bowl, mix the chia seeds with the unsweetened coconut milk. Stir well to prevent clumping.

  2. Add Flavors

    Add the key lime zest, key lime juice, monk fruit sweetener or stevia, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chia and coconut milk mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. Refrigerate

    Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell up, creating a pudding-like consistency.

  4. Stir and Check Consistency

    Once set, stir the pudding. If it’s too thick, add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.

  5. Serve

    Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or glasses.

  6. Add Toppings

    Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, additional lime zest, and fresh berries if desired.

  7. Enjoy

    Serve chilled as a refreshing and healthy dessert or breakfast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Is this Coconut Key Lime Chia Pudding recipe suitable for diabetics?

Yes, this pudding is diabetic-friendly. It uses monk fruit sweetener, a natural sugar alternative with a low glycemic index, and is high in fiber from chia seeds, which can help in blood sugar regulation. However, individual dietary needs may vary, so it's advisable for diabetics to consult their healthcare provider.

Can I make this pudding with a different type of milk?

Absolutely! While the recipe calls for unsweetened coconut milk, you can substitute it with other plant-based milks like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. The key is to choose unsweetened varieties to maintain the diabetic-friendly aspect of the recipe.

. How long does this pudding need to set in the refrigerator?

The pudding typically needs to set for at least 4 hours, but for best results, leaving it overnight is recommended. This allows the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and achieve the desired pudding-like consistency.

Can I use regular lime instead of key lime?

Yes, regular lime can be used as a substitute for key lime. Key limes are slightly more aromatic and have a distinct flavor, but regular limes will still give a nice citrusy taste to the pudding.

How should I store the leftover pudding and how long will it last?

Leftover pudding should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It typically lasts for up to 5 days. It's best to add any toppings like fresh fruit or coconut flakes just before serving to maintain texture and freshness.
