Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1–2 lemons)
- 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup (or honey), sea salt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in chia seeds vigorously for 20–30 seconds to ensure they do not clump.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- After chilling, stir to break up any gelled parts, then spoon into serving cups.
- Top with fresh berries, coconut flakes, lemon zest curls, and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut yogurt if desired.
Notes
For a lighter texture, use light coconut milk plus 1/4 cup almond milk. For less sweetness, reduce maple syrup to 2 tablespoons.
