Ingredients
Scale

- ¾ cup (110 g) chopped pineapple
- ¼ cup (40 g) chia seeds
- 1 tsp (5 ml) agave syrup
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 2 tbsps (15 g) unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Blend Base: Whisk coconut milk, chia seeds, agave syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smoothly combined, eliminating any potential lumps.
- Chill Mixture: Seal the bowl and refrigerate for 8-12 hours, allowing chia seeds to absorb liquid and develop a luxurious, creamy consistency.

Notes
- Soak Chia Seeds Patiently: Allow a full 8-hour rest in the refrigerator for maximum thickening and creamy texture, ensuring seeds absorb liquid completely.
- Blend Pineapple Smoothly: Pulse fruit until achieving a silky, chunk-free puree for seamless layering and consistent flavor distribution.
- Layer Carefully: Create visually appealing dessert by gently alternating chia pudding and pineapple puree, maintaining distinct yet harmonious layers.
- Garnish Strategically: Sprinkle coconut flakes just before serving to preserve crispness and add delightful tropical crunch to the pudding.
