- 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk canned (*see notes)

Instructions
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.In a bowl, mix together canned coconut milk, sweetener, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Add the chia seeds into a different bowl.
- Pour in half of the water, stir well with a whisk until the mixture thickened. Add the remaining water, mix again until the chia seeds absorbed all the water. Do not rush!
- Slowly add the chocolate coconut mixture and whisk to combine.
- Your chia pudding is ready to be eaten and doesn't need to be put into the fridge for hours*.
- Serve in jars, top with more peanut butter, fruit, cacao nibs, or coconut chips, if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge. Enjoy!
- If you want to make overnight chia pudding, simply put add ingredients (except the chia seeds) to a bowl and whisk until combined. Then add the chia seeds, stir again, cover the bowl and place it into your fridge overnight. Check the recipe notes below.
Notes
- Net carbs per serving = 6.4 grams.
- *Quick chia pudding method: I learned this "water trick" many years ago from my friend Geraldine @eatwithfingers and I hope you'll find it as useful as I do!
- Sweetener: You can use any other sweetener to taste if you don't mind whether the dessert is keto-friendly or not.
- Peanut Butter: Feel free to use any other nut butter (e.g. almond butter, cashew butter) or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
- Coconut milk: I recommend using canned coconut milk. If you want to use almond milk or any other milk, the chia pudding won't taste as rich and creamy.
