This chia pudding recipe makes for a light and creamy dessert and is naturally vegan and gluten-free. It’s made with a base layer of creamy coconutty chia pudding and topped off with a fresh pineapple puree for a treat that has all the flavours of a pina colada!

The chia pudding is made with a blend of coconut milk and Califia Farms almond milk, which gives it a smooth and creamy texture. Since coconut milk contains quite a bit of fat, using a mix of a little coconut milk and almond milk is a great option to keep this recipe fresh and light!

Tips for making this recipe perfectly

• Make sure to mix the chia pudding well for a couple of minutes before letting it sit to thicken so there are no clumps.
• If you have the time, prepare the chia pudding a night ahead of time so it can sit in the fridge overnight. This will result is the best texture!
• Using high-quality almond milk will give the chia pudding more flavour and a better texture. I use and recommend Califia Farms Almond Milk.
• Use a nice ripe pineapple for this recipe. To choose a good one, pick a pineapple that has a little give when you press it with your fingers, is more yellow in colour, and has a distinct pineapple smell when you smell the bottom of the fruit.
• If preparing this recipe in advance, store the chia pudding and the pineapple puree separate and put them together when you’re ready to serve.
