If you're craving something fresh, creamy, and full of tropical flavour, this Pineapple Coconut Chia Pudding is a wonderful recipe to have on hand.


The combination of sweet pineapple, creamy coconut milk, and fresh ginger creates a pudding that feels like a little taste of summer—no matter the season.


It's easy to prepare ahead of time, making it perfect for busy mornings, afternoon snacks, or a simple dessert after dinner.


Serves 2–4

Ingredients

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 can pineapple in its own juice

  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated

  • Optional: a pinch of Himalayan salt


For Garnishing

  • Extra grated ginger

  • Chopped pistachios


Method

  1. Add the pineapple, including the juice, to a blender.

  2. Blend until smooth.

  3. Pour the blended pineapple into a mixing bowl.

  4. Add the coconut milk, chia seeds, grated ginger, and Himalayan salt if using.

  5. Stir well until everything is fully combined.

  6. Leave the mixture to rest for at least 30 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.


For the Best Texture

Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.


This creates a thicker, creamier pudding and makes it perfect for preparing ahead of time.


To Serve

Spoon into bowls or jars and garnish with:

  • Chopped pistachios

  • Extra grated ginger
