gramsDessert recipes don’t get much easier than this one. Most chia seed recipes I’ve seen call for nut milk, but in our experiments, we found that coconut milk takes this pudding to a rich, creamy, borderline decadent place. Once you make chia seed pudding with full fat coconut milk, there will be no going back.
Ingredients
6 TB chia seeds (70g)
1 can unsweetened, full fat coconut milk (13.66 oz or 403 mL)
4 TB ChocZero syrup of your choice – see note
Directions
- Add 3TB of chia seeds to each of 2 pint mason jars.
- Whisk together the coconut milk and the syrup in a bowl or Pyrex measuring cup, then split between the mason jars with the chia seeds.
- Tightly screw on the jar lids, then shake vigorously until the chia seeds appear well mixed.
- Place jars in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove, give the pudding a good stir with a spoon or spatula, then return to the fridge over night.
- Serve as is or with the garnish of your choice.

Thank you
I am obsessed. I made this but substituted skinny syrup instead. OMG. I will have to be careful since I want to eat the whole thing!
Got mine in the fridge now but I made a few adaptations. Since the recipe says 6 tbs of chia seeds and your video says 3, I used the full can of coconut milk, 2 tbs of choczero maple syrup (because that stuff is pricy!), added real pumpkin and some sukrin gold, and pie spice, and divided into 2 jars. Looking forward to having some tomorrow!
I just made your chia recipe…I was so excited. I’ve made chia pudding before but the recipe used only 1 cup of coconut milk. Often I would forget about the rest of the milk & it would spoil. That recipe also said you could add vanilla extract, berries, protein powder or your favorite sweetener. I don’t have ChocZero on hand so to my can of coconut milk I added the 6 T chia seeds, 1 sleeve of flavored (strawberry/kiwi) sugar-free drink mix (any brand that you add to 17 oz water bottle), & frozen raspberries and blueberries. I can hardly wait for 2 hours now. You can bet I WILL taste it before I eat it for breakfast tomorrow. I love your videos! You are so talented. Keep up the good work. Your testing of various recipes helps the rest of us from making food we just might throw away. PS: Thank you for the Stuffing Chaffle & Stuffing Herb recipe. Haven’t made it yet but will soon.
Carol how was the chia seed pudding? I was so intrigued when i saw your post since i never new it was possible to use something like Crystal Light to a pudding recipe. I’m dying to know if this was a yay or nay. Please let me know if it was a success so i can try it for myself.
Can’t get too much chia pudding! made some thick cashew nut ‘milk’ (leaving all nuts in) to increase protein & substance. YUM!!
Can I give this 10 stars?!? Made this with a little bit of instant coffee powder and it was phenomenal. Didn’t add any sweetener, but a couple drops of monkfruit would have been perfect for a sweeter tooth. Can’t wait to play around with all the possible flavors!
oh that sounds amazing!! I have espresso powder at home, going to have to play with this one!
OH OH!! Or Chai Tea spices! omg
Do you have a version without coconut milk or cream?
Probably going to tell me there’s lots of recipes on the internet but you probably also tried them all at least once ahead of time heehee
Thank you for your hard work keto cooking
You could use a nut milk, but the purpose of this recipe was to show how rich and creamy it is with full fat coconut milk
I make this regularly. I used to use just almond milk but now use about half coconut milk & half almond milk and its really good. The coconut milk gives a great texture. I don’t bother with the syrup. I just add a tbsp of cocoa powder & a little monk fruit. Great base recipe. You can easily customize. Thanks for sharing this. Really enjoy your YouTube channel. 🙂
Hello,
I’m watching your chia seed pudding recipe and wondered if the other flavors are by ChocZero also? Amazon doesn’t have them.
Thank you
They have a number of flavors. Some are seasonal. They’ve also had some supply chain issues that have them often running out of stock.

3 Tbsp of chia seeds or 70g (about 6 Tbsp?)
Your question is unclear to me.
Sarah is confused because (according to every source I see online) 1T chia = about 10g–so 3T would equal at the most half of 70g, which you give as 3 tablespoon’s weight equivalent.
I actually messed up the recipe, it is supposed to be for 2 pint mason jars. I believe it is corrected now.
I see–thanks Steve
Have you ever tried this with any protein powder? I don’t have any choc zero syrups and was wondering if protein powder would work and if so how much and what flavors?
I haven’t tried that. I would think that it would work, though the flavor will be mild and it may make the pudding thicker.
Have you ever used White Chia Seeds? They are better in nutrition , I am experimenting and I am not sure of them yet. Thank you for the recipe, I had been using half almond milk and half full fat coconut(canned) milk and monk fruit, cocoa powder and vanilla. I might even try whipping the top portion of the coconut milk as it is the part I was using for different recipe, and fold it into the pudding. Steve as a kid, did you make mud pies, just asking? LOL 😉
I’ve never heard of white chia seeds. Please keep me updated with how they behave (vs regular). I don’t recall making mud pies.
Awesome thanks! Just used your promo code to check out the flavors.

Hello Steve and Courtney. Just a quick question. I went out to pick up the Thai Kitchen® Coconut milk and accidently grabbed their 13.66 oz. can of unsweetened Coconut CREAM. Do you think I could use it by itself or maybe cutting it with almond milk or would you have a suggestion for a more practical use of a can of unsweetened coconut cream?
I have a can of CREAM, myself, in the pantry. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with it. As for the chia pudding, if I were using cream, I’d probably cut it with some sort of nut milk so that the chia seeds can properly hydrate.
