Ingredients:
- 1½ cups unsweetened coconut milk beverage in the carton-not canned.
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2½ tablespoons agave nectar, or more depending on sweet preference
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 4 to 5 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
Directions:
FOR THE PUDDING:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla, agave, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined. Taste-test the liquid and add more agave, if desired
Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds should have expanded and the pudding should be nice and thick.
FOR THE TOASTED COCONUT FLAKES:
Heat a small skillet over low heat. Add the coconut flakes. Toast for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the coconut flakes have lightly browned. (Make sure to keep an eye on them; they can burn easily). Immediately remove them from the pan. Allow them to cool completely.
FOR ASSEMBLY:
-Assemble the pudding just before serving.
-Into your serving glasses add a layer of the coconut pudding. Add a layer of banana slices. Spoon in another layer of coconut pudding, then add another layer of banana slices. Top with coconut whipped cream (optional) and a good sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately.
