How long does it take for chia pudding to set?

Chia pudding typically needs at least 4 hours to set, but it's best if you refrigerate it overnight to achieve the desired consistency.

Can I freeze chia pudding?

Yes, you can freeze chia pudding in freezer-safe containers. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before serving. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing.

Why is my chia pudding not thickening?

If your chia pudding is not thickening, ensure you have used the correct chia seed-to-liquid ratio. Also, make sure you stir or shake the mixture well to evenly distribute the chia seeds. If it still doesn't thicken, try refrigerating it for a longer period.

Can I use a blender to make the pudding smoother?

Yes, blending the pudding can create a smoother, more uniform texture. After the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the pudding has set, blend it until smooth.

Does it taste like coconut?

The coconut cream I use doesn't have a strong coconut flavour and the additional plant based milk added to it further dilutes it. This may depend on the brand of coconut cream though.

What Can I use instead of coconut cream?

Instead of coconut cream, use full fat coconut milk without stabilizers and don't add additional milk. So instead of using 1 cup coconut cream and 1 cup soy milk, use 2 cups full fat coconut cream.
