I first came across these in Amsterdam about 25 years ago and remember thinking how very avant-garde they were. That was the beginning of the chia-seed revolution and since then they have become ever more ubiquitous. Though they have the slight whiff of the health-food shop on them, they are actually utterly delicious as well as being good for you – win, win! Though these are in the desserts section, these would be equally welcome at the breakfast table, or for a pick-me-up at any time of day. The setting time for these does push this recipe beyond the 30-minute mark, but the assembly is so speedy and they are so wonderful to make the evening before and have waiting in the fridge that I’ll hope you’ll forgive me for that.

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a bowl, combine 70g chia seeds, 400ml canned light coconut milk, 3 tbsp runny honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp unsweetened desiccated coconut. Stir well to mix all ingredients together.
-
Step 2.
Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. The chia seeds will begin to swell and thicken the liquid.
-
Step 3.
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 ramekins or serving glasses. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, until the mixture is set to a pudding-like consistency.
-
Step 4.
Before serving, garnish each pot with toasted coconut flakes and a handful of fresh raspberries.
