Ingredients

Scale

For the Chia Pudding Filling:

  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup / 80g chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup / 60ml maple syrup or agave nectar
  • Zest of 1 large lime
  • Juice of 1/2 large lime (about 2 tbsp / 30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon / 5ml vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Crust:

  • 1 cup / 140g almonds or cashews
  • 1/2 cup / 45g shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup / 45g Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tablespoon / 15ml melted coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings:

  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Extra lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the optional crust: Add almonds/cashews, shredded coconut, pitted dates, melted coconut oil, and salt to a food processor. Process until the mixture clumps together and sticks when pressed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan lined with parchment paper. Chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the chia pudding filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup/agave, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well to prevent clumps.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to break up any clumps and ensure seeds are evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the chia pudding mixture over the prepared crust (if using) or directly into the parchment-lined pan if making crustless bars. Spread evenly.
  5. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the chia pudding is very firm and set.
  6. Once firm, lift the slab out using the parchment paper overhang. Sprinkle generously with toasted coconut flakes and extra lime zest.
  7. Cut into squares or bars using a sharp knife.
  8. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings with fresh fruit or nuts for added flavor and texture.
  • For a sweeter option, you can increase the amount of maple syrup or agave nectar in the chia pudding mixture.
