Ingredients:

8 tbsp chia seeds
100g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 tsp brown sugar
4.60g
1 cup canned pineapple
250g
1/4 cup dried coconut meat
22g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chia Seeds:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 8 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 cup of coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the coconut milk and create a pudding-like texture.
2. Prepare the Pineapple:
- Drain the canned pineapple to remove excess syrup or juice.
- Roughly chop the pineapple into small pieces. Set aside.
3. Cook the Pineapple (Optional):
- In a small pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped pineapple and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the pineapple is caramelized and slightly golden.
- Let the caramelized pineapple cool.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps.
- Fold in the caramelized pineapple chunks, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the pudding.
5. Add Dried Coconut:
- Gently stir in 1/4 cup of dried coconut meat to add texture and an extra coconut flavor to the pudding.
6. Serve:
- Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or jars.
- Optionally, garnish with additional dried coconut, fresh pineapple slices, or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
- Enjoy your tropical Pina Colada Chia Pudding cold.

Tips:

- Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: For a richer and creamier pudding, opt for full-fat coconut milk. It adds a luxurious texture and enhances the tropical flavor of the dish.

- Prepare in Advance: Chia seeds need time to absorb the liquid and expand, so it's best to prepare the pudding at least 4 hours in advance or ideally let it soak overnight.

- Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your preference. You can also try using honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar as an alternative sweetener.

- Use Fresh Pineapple: If available, fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned for a more vibrant and juicy flavor. Simply chop it into small pieces before mixing it with the pudding.

- Add Crunch with Toppings: Top your chia pudding with extra dried coconut meat or toasted nuts for added texture and flavor. Other great options include granola, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey.

- Serve Cold: This pudding is best enjoyed chilled. Store it in the fridge and give it a good stir before serving.

With just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, you've created a delicious and nutritious Pina Colada Chia Pudding. It's perfect for a healthy breakfast, a snack, or even a light dessert. The combination of coconut, pineapple, and chia seeds provides a satisfying texture and flavor that will leave you craving more. Enjoy this taste of the tropics any time you need a little escape.
