Serves 4

• ½ cup chia seeds

• ¾ cup coconut yoghurt, plus ¼ cup extra

• ¾ cup milk

• 2 tablespoons honey

• 1 lime, zest & juice

• ¼ pineapple, diced

• ½ cup coconut flakes

1. Mix the chia base

   In a medium bowl or jug, whisk together the chia seeds, ¾ cup coconut yoghurt, milk, honey, and lime zest.
   Pour roughly ½ cup of the mixture into four cups or containers.
   Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight until thick and creamy.

2. Make the lime-honey syrup

   In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice and remaining honey until smooth. Set aside.

3. Cook the pineapple

   Heat a dry frypan over medium heat. Add the diced pineapple and cook until it softens and picks up a little colour. Pour over the lime-honey syrup and simmer for 1–2 minutes until glossy. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

4. Toast the coconut

   In the same dry pan, toast the coconut flakes until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a plate to cool.

5. Assemble

   Top each chia pudding with a spoonful of the extra coconut yoghurt. Spoon over the pineapple and its syrup, then finish with toasted coconut flakes.
