Explore our exotic spiced coconut chia pudding, bursting with turmeric and papaya goodness. A healthy dessert that delights and nourishes.
Ingredients
- • chia seeds: 1/2 cup
- • coconut milk (full-fat): 1 cup
- • water: 1/2 cup
- • ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon
- • ground ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • ripe papaya, diced: 1 cup
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tablespoons
- • pistachios, chopped: 2 tablespoons (optional)

Instructions
- 1 In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, water, turmeric, ginger, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well-combined.
- 2 Add the chia seeds to the mixture and stir thoroughly. Ensure there are no clumps and the seeds are evenly distributed.
- 3 Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- 4 Once set, give the pudding a good stir. Serve it in individual bowls or glasses, layering with diced papaya and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
- 5 Top with chopped pistachios and fresh mint leaves for an added crunch and a burst of freshness. Enjoy chilled.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Spiced Coconut Chia Pudding pairs beautifully with a side of freshly sliced tropical fruits like kiwi or mango for an added burst of flavor and nutrients. For a touch of indulgence, serve it alongside a small scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream. Complement your dessert with a refreshing herbal tea, such as chamomile or lemongrass, which enhances the exotic flavors of the pudding. For an elegant presentation, serve the pudding in clear glass cups to showcase the vibrant layers of chia, papaya, and coconut. Garnish with additional mint leaves or edible flowers for a decorative touch.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pudding may thicken over time, so feel free to add a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen the consistency before serving again. Keep the toppings separate and add them just before serving to maintain their freshness and crunch.
