Ingredients

 Add to Grocery List
1 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
1 cup water
2-4 medjool or 4-8 regular dates, pitted (see notes)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla bean powder (see notes)
1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup chia seeds, divided

Instructions:

Blend milk, coconut, water, dates, vanilla, cardamom and 1/4 cup of the chia seeds in a high-powered blender. Add additional milk if needed to adjust consistency. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup chia seeds. Refrigerate for 15 minutes and stir again to distribute seeds evenly.

If desired, top with fresh berries and/or toasted unsweetened coconut.
For a parfait, alternate layers of berries with pudding in a wine glass.
For a chocolate chia pudding, blend in 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder.

Note:
Adjust dates to desired sweetness.
A 1/2 teaspoon of alcohol-free vanilla extract can be substituted for the vanilla bean powder

Made the chocolate version and it's very good. Next time I'll use medjool dates or add more dates because it wasn't sweet enough for me

Wow, this is delicious! I did do some substitutions: I used 2 cups almond milk since I didn't have any coconut milk. And I used 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg since I didn't have any cardamom either. I blended all the seeds together in the blender. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Fabulous! I tried both the regular and chocolate versions. Preferred the chocolate, without cardamom. Both were incredibly creamy and delicious.

I substituted one teaspoon of cinnamon instead of cardamom. I've made it a few times, sometimes with only soymilk. It tasts eqully good that way. When I used just almond milk, it wasn't as good. Hubby liked this so much, I made a double batch and we split-it for breakfast three days in a row! and he doesn't normally eat leftovers! He liked it topped with dry coconut, slivered almonds, cashews and raisins. I just top with raisins and slivered almonds. I also used an immersion blender in a pinch, and it was fine.

Yom. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices and this recipe delivered. I had it for breakfast this morning and mixed with a handful of blueberries. The consistency was a little more watery than I'd like -- hopefully it'll set up a little firmer after more time in the fridge.

This was really good.  I wasn't expecting it.  I just followed the directions and sprinkled some cinnamon on it once I was ready to eat it.  Super awesome texture.

Does it turn out thickened? Can it be made a few hours ahead of time before you're going to serve it? Thank you!

This is really tasty.  I used homemade almond milk, 3 medjools, and nutmeg & cinnamon with alcohol-free vanilla.  I blended it with an immersion blender—super simple. Can't wait to try the chocolate version!
