A pinch of salt brings all the flavors together. - Crushed graham crackers - Coconut whipped cream - Pecans Toppings are fun and add texture. I love crushed graham crackers for crunch. Coconut whipped cream makes it feel fancy and light. Pecans are great for a nutty twist. You can mix and match these toppings. They make your pudding even more special. Want to make it your own? Add your favorite toppings and enjoy! For the full recipe, check out the section above. Start by taking a mixing bowl. Whisk together 1 cup of coconut milk with 1/2 cup of pure pumpkin puree. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup for sweetness, and include 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Next, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and a pinch of salt. This mix brings all the fall flavors together. Once your mix is smooth, it’s time to add 1/4 cup of chia seeds. Stir these in gently until they are evenly spread out. Chia seeds will soak up the liquid and help create a thick pudding texture. Now, cover your bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step is key, as it allows the chia seeds to absorb the mix and turn into pudding. After chilling, remove the bowl from the fridge. Give it a stir to break up any clumps. Now, you can serve the pudding in bowls or jars. Add your favorite toppings like crushed graham crackers, coconut whipped cream, and pecans for a delightful finish. For the full recipe, check out the details I provided earlier. Enjoy your tasty treat! To get the best texture for your pumpkin pie overnight chia pudding, focus on soaking time. Chia seeds need time to absorb liquid and expand. I recommend soaking them for at least four hours or overnight. This allows the seeds to create a pudding-like base. Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. This helps break up any clumps of chia seeds, making it smooth and creamy. You can adjust the sweetness based on your taste. Maple syrup works great, but not everyone likes it. Try honey or agave syrup for a different flavor. If you want less sugar, use mashed bananas or unsweetened applesauce. Start with a small amount and taste as you go. You can add more sweetener later if needed. How you layer the ingredients can make your pudding look extra special. Use clear jars to show off the beautiful layers. Start with a layer of pudding, then add crushed graham crackers for crunch. Repeat this until the jar is full. Finish with a dollop of coconut whipped cream on top. A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice adds a nice touch. This makes your pudding not only tasty but also a feast for the eyes.

Each spice brings a new twist to this classic. Be bold and mix flavors to suit your mood! Add fun textures and tastes with mix-ins. Nuts, like walnuts or pecans, add crunch.

Make sure to keep it in an airtight container. This helps maintain freshness and flavor. I love preparing it on Sunday so I can enjoy it throughout the week. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the pudding. Divide the pudding into portions and place them in freezer-safe containers. When you're ready to eat, let the pudding thaw in the fridge overnight. It’s best to eat it within a month for the best taste and texture. Glass jars or BPA-free plastic containers work well for storage. I prefer glass jars because they don't absorb odors. They also look pretty when you serve the pudding! Make sure your containers have tight lids to keep the pudding creamy and fresh. Chia pudding can last up to five days in the fridge. Keep it in a sealed jar or container. After that, the texture may change, and it might not taste as fresh. If you see any mold or strange smells, throw it away. Always check before you eat! Yes, you can substitute chia seeds with flax seeds. Flax seeds can work well, but they must be ground first. This change will alter the texture slightly. The pudding may not get as thick as with chia seeds. Also, flax seeds have a different taste, which you may or may not like. Yes, pumpkin pie chia pudding is gluten-free. All the ingredients listed in the recipe do not contain gluten. This makes it a great option for those with gluten sensitivities. Just ensure any toppings you use are also gluten-free.
