Cooking Tips

  • Use carton coconut milk: Avoid canned versions, which are thicker and can alter the texture; carton types blend better.
  • Whisk twice: Stir once initially and again after 5 minutes to avoid chia clumping.
  • Chill long enough: For best results, let it sit at least 2 hours—or overnight for maximum thickness.
  • Customize texture: Add more chia seeds for a thicker pudding or a splash more coconut milk for a looser one.
  • Top mindfully: Choose toppings that align with your dietary needs—like fruit for fibre or almonds for crunch and protein.
  • Zest first: Zest the lime before juicing to avoid a mess and get the best flavour infusion.
