Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • 4 Jars or containers

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups coconut milk light or full‑fat
  • ¼ cup pandan syrup or ½–1 teaspoon pandan extract
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar optional, to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit toasted coconut, pandan syrup drizzle

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, pandan syrup (or extract), sweetener if using, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the chia seeds and whisk well to distribute evenly.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
  • Divide into four jars or containers.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, toasted coconut, or a drizzle of pandan syrup.

Notes

  • For a thicker pudding, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
  • Adjust sweetness based on how sweet your pandan syrup is.
  • For a looser texture, stir in a splash of coconut milk before serving.
  • Keeps 3–4 days in the fridge — great for meal prep.
  • Works beautifully with mango, banana, berries, or toasted nuts.
