A comforting and creamy horchata-flavored chia pudding made with coconut milk, almond milk, cinnamon, and topped with toasted coconut flakes. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this easy recipe combines wholesome ingredients for a nostalgic yet fresh treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (about 40g) chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) full-fat coconut milk (canned or carton)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (20g) toasted coconut flakes
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Optional: a little sprinkle of orange zest

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, 1/2 cup almond milk, 2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant (about 2–3 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed and not clumping.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir or whisk again to break up any chia clumps.
  4. Cover the bowl or transfer the pudding into individual jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until thickened.
  5. While the pudding chills, toast 1/4 cup coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.
  6. Before serving, stir the pudding if needed, top with toasted coconut flakes, and optionally sprinkle extra cinnamon or nutmeg.

Notes

Mix well to avoid chia seed clumps by stirring twice. Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Adjust sweetness to taste. If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of almond milk; if too thin, add more chia seeds and refrigerate longer. Perfect for meal prep and can be customized with various toppings or spices.
