Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Filling:

  • 1 can (13.5 oz / 400ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup / 80g chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup / 60ml maple syrup or agave nectar
  • Zest of 1 large lime
  • Juice of 1/2 large lime (about 2 tbsp / 30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon / 5ml vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Crust (if using):

  • 1 cup / 140g almonds or cashews
  • 1/2 cup / 45g shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup / 45g Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 tablespoon / 15ml melted coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings:

  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Extra lime zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the optional crust: Add almonds/cashews, shredded coconut, pitted dates, melted coconut oil, and salt to a food processor. Process until the mixture clumps together and sticks when pressed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan lined with parchment paper. Chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Prepare the chia pudding filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup/agave, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk well to prevent clumps. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, then whisk again thoroughly to break up any clumps and ensure seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the chia pudding mixture: Over the prepared crust (if using) or directly into the parchment-lined pan if making crustless bars. Spread evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate: For at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the chia pudding is very firm and set.
  5. Finish and serve: Once firm, lift the slab out using the parchment paper overhang. Sprinkle generously with toasted coconut flakes and extra lime zest. Cut into squares or bars using a sharp knife. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Notes

  • You can customize these bars by adding your favorite nuts or dried fruits to the crust.
  • For a sweeter option, drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey before serving.
