In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or overnight, until pudding has thickened.
When ready to eat, stir, serve in small bowls or jars and top with fruit or other desired toppings.
Notes
Make and refrigerate overnight and have pudding ready in the morning.
For a thicker pudding, add a little more chia seeds and allow to thicken.
To make a smaller batch, the general ratio is 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to ½ cup of dairy-free milk. You can mix the two ingredients directly in an individual single-serving glass jar or mason jar if desired.
