Chia Seed Coconut Cream Pie Pudding
Chia seed coconut cream pie pudding is a creamy dish. So darn good! And chia seed is so good for you too. If you haven’t ever bought it before, do it now! You can order it on Amazon even, so it is so easy. 
Do you guys remember the coconut mango chia seed pudding I posted a little while back? It was so good it got me thinking, and I had to experiment with other flavor combinations. My husband LOVES coconut cream pie, so this was a natural option.
I am not a huge breakfast food eater, so I loved having an option that tastes like dessert, but is actually healthy, and that I could make in advance so that in the morning hustle and bustle I am not trying to come up with something for me to eat while my kids have pancakes or cereal.
But it does not have to be eaten plain, I stirred in some vanilla greek yogurt, fresh berries, and granola, and had it for breakfast several days in a row, mixing in different stuff each day so I wouldn’t get bored. Then I ate it plain as dessert. Honestly, it is just yummy. Make some, keep some in your fridge, and eat it! It has great health benefits and tastes amazing.

I am sooo looking forward to making this. I’ve recently learned about chia puddings. Soo yummy. I miss coconut cream pie as I can no longer eat dairy. Thank you for sharing. I’ll make it tonight whether or not I have the flakes just because I know it’ll be yummy.
Rachael says
I hope you love it! Chia pudding is a great alternative.
Meredith says
I left my mixture in the refrigerator overnight and it did not set up like a pudding. It has the exact same consistency as when I mixed it together. I’m not sure what I did wrong.
Rachael says
Hmm I am not sure either. It might be the chia you used, try reducing the liquid if you make it again. I wish I could give you a more definitive answer, but I know this recipe has worked for me several times.
Joyce says
This is absolutely wonderful! A can of coconut milk is 1 2/3 cups, so I just topped it off with half and half. I used unsweetened coconut and it was sweet enough for me. Thank you! This will be made often!
Rachael says
Thank you Joyce! I love your addition. Thanks for sharing, and I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Melodi says
Not only do I love this recipe but I love the photography and where in the world did you get those cute glasses from? I’m so particular with what I drink/eat out of and the glass cup that you used for your coconut cream pie chia pudding seems perfect!
