-
In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Stir in shredded unsweetened coconut.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.

Once thickened, stir the pudding and add more coconut milk if you’d like to adjust the consistency.
-
Serve in individual bowls or jars and top with fresh fruit like mango or berries for extra flavor.
