FAQ
Is this recipe dairy-free and vegan?
Yes. It uses coconut milk, chia seeds, and fruit—no dairy or animal products.
How much chia seeds do I use and why soak?
Use 6 tablespoons. Chia swells in liquid to create a pudding-like texture.
How long does it take to set?
At least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
Can I prepare this in advance?
Yes. Make ahead and refrigerate; add orange zest and segments just before serving.
How should I serve and garnish?
Divide between two bowls; top with orange segments, cinnamon, and zest.
How should I store leftovers?
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Can I adjust the sweetness or substitute sweeteners?
Yes. Use maple syrup or another vegan sweetener like agave; adjust to taste.
Can I substitute the orange with another fruit?
Yes. You can use berries, mango, pineapple, or other fruit; flavors will change.
What if I need a nut-free version or a different flavor?
If coconut isn’t suitable, replace with another non-dairy milk (oat or soy) and adjust sweetness; check for nut allergies.
