INGREDIENTS USED IN PINA COLADA CHIA PUDDING

• PINEAPPLE

The pineapple adds a burst of tropical sweetness and tanginess that perfectly complements the creamy coconut milk and chia seeds. It provides a refreshing flavor reminiscent of a classic pina colada cocktail, creating a delightful fusion of flavors in every spoonful.

• COCONUT MILK

Coconut milk is the creamy, indulgent base that gives the chia pudding its signature tropical flavor. It adds richness and depth to the pudding while infusing it with the unmistakable taste of coconut, reminiscent of a classic pina colada cocktail. Plus, coconut milk provides a velvety texture that enhances the overall mouthfeel of the pudding, making it a satisfying and delicious treat. I have used Dabur’s coconut milk for this recipe.

• CHIA SEEDS

Chia seeds are the star ingredient in pina colada chia pudding, serving as both a thickening agent and a nutritional powerhouse. When combined with coconut milk and pineapple, these tiny seeds absorb liquid and swell, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency. Additionally, chia seeds are packed with fibre, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, adding a healthy boost to this indulgent dessert.

• HONEY

Honey can be used in pina colada chia pudding as a natural sweetener to enhance the overall flavor profile. It adds a touch of sweetness that complements the tropical flavors of coconut milk and pineapple, without overpowering them. Additionally, honey provides a smoother texture and helps balance any tartness from the pineapple. Plus, it’s a healthier alternative to refined sugars, making it a great choice for those looking to enjoy a guilt-free treat.
