Pudin de Chía

Pudin de Chía is a delightful Spanish dessert that combines the nutritional power of chia seeds with rich, creamy coconut milk. This keto-friendly treat is not only satisfying but also packed with flavor, making it an indulgent yet healthy choice.

Ingredients

• Chia seeds - 60 grams
• Coconut milk (full fat) - 400 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener) - 2 tablespoons
• Cocoa powder (unsweetened) - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Unsweetened shredded coconut - 2 tablespoons (for topping)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, vanilla extract, erythritol, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
2. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps of cocoa powder.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
4. Stir the mixture again to ensure an even consistency, then divide it into two serving glasses or bowls.
5. Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
6. Before serving, top each pudding with unsweetened shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
