Method
 

  1. Whisk chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Let mixture sit briefly, then stir again thoroughly to prevent clumps and ensure even thickening.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight until thick and creamy.
  4. Stir before serving. Adjust consistency with extra milk if needed. Add toppings and serve chilled.

Notes

Adjust chia seed ratio for thicker or softer texture. Stir early to prevent clumping. Avoid freezing, as texture may separate. Handle gently when layering toppings. Customize flavor with fruits or spices. Store covered in the refrigerator up to four days for best freshness.
