½ teaspoon vanilla extract

When the pudding is ready, pulse chopped pineapple chunks in a blender until smooth.

Divide chilled chia seed pudding into two glasses or mason jars. Top each serving with the pineapple puree and garnish with coconut cream and toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later
2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes

Notes

Store your pineapple chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best flavor, add the blended pineapple just before serving. This keeps the pineapple fresh and vibrant.
For the best texture and flavor, add the pineapple puree to the pudding right before serving.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth mixture and prevent clumping. After chilling for a few hours, stir the pudding to break up any chia seed clumps, helping them absorb more liquid for a thicker texture.
Add more milk if your chia pudding is too thick.
Make a big batch of this recipe if you're preparing it for meal prep.
