Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 tsp Grade A maple syrup
  • 0.5 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Pour the coconut milk into a clean glass jar.
  2. Add the chia seeds slowly, sprinkling them over the surface rather than dumping them in one big pile.
  3. Whisk for 2 minutes vigorously. This ensures every single seed is coated in liquid so they don't stick together.
  4. Incorporate the maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  5. Let it sit for 5 minutes on the counter.
  6. Whisk again for 1 minute after the rest. This breaks up any rafts of seeds that have started to clump.
  7. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
  8. Refrigerate for 4 hours minimum. Wait until the liquid has transformed into a wobbly, set gel.
  9. Stir one last time before serving.
