Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy chia pudding bowl with fresh orange segments and crunchy cookies, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any cozy breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 medium fresh orange, peeled and segmented
  • 4–5 cookies, crumbled (buttery shortbread or digestive biscuits)
  • Orange zest from 1 orange
  • Optional toppings: chopped pistachios, slivered almonds, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup chia seeds with 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to break up any clumps (about 5 minutes).
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick pudding. For a quicker option, 2 hours can work but overnight is best.
  3. While pudding sets, peel and segment the orange, removing white pith. Zest the orange carefully. Crumble 4-5 cookies into bite-sized pieces (about 10 minutes).
  4. After soaking, stir the chia pudding gently. If too thick, add a splash of coconut milk and stir to loosen. If too thin, add a few more chia seeds and let rest for another 30 minutes.
  5. Divide pudding into two serving bowls or jars. Top each with fresh orange segments, a sprinkle of orange zest, and crumbled cookies. Add optional chopped pistachios or fresh mint leaves if desired.
  6. Serve chilled. Can be eaten immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

Use a whisk to mix chia seeds thoroughly to avoid clumps. Let pudding soak overnight for best texture. Add cookies just before serving to keep them crunchy. Coconut milk gives the creamiest texture but almond or oat milk can be used for lighter versions. Adjust liquid to achieve desired pudding consistency.
