Easy Coconut Chia Pudding Recipe (Coconut Raffaello) – Maja’s Recipes

Introduction

Seeking a dessert that’s both healthy and decadently satisfying? This Easy Coconut Chia Pudding, inspired by the luxurious flavors of Raffaello confections, brings you creamy coconut richness paired with a delightful chia seed texture. Whether you’re prepping breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a fuss-free dessert for guests, this recipe is a total crowd-pleaser thanks to its pure coconut flavor, no-cook method, and dreamy, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.

Why You’ll Love This Coconut Raffaello Chia Pudding

Unlike traditional puddings, this recipe requires mere minutes of active prep and no stovetop work. Chia seeds absorb luscious coconut milk to create a naturally thick, creamy texture—no eggs, gelatin, or cornstarch needed. The result: a treat that delivers coconut in every bite, reminiscent of Raffaello truffles but lighter and much easier to make.

Chia Pudding Prep Made Effortless

To achieve the smoothest, most evenly mixed chia pudding base, it’s worth using a quality blender. Blending your coconut milk and sweetener ensures all components are perfectly incorporated. A device like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black makes quick work of the prep and gives your pudding a luxuriously creamy finish. Once blended, simply whisk or shake in the chia seeds until they’re evenly distributed—no clumping!

Topping Tips for a True Raffaello Vibe

After your pudding has thickened in the fridge, top it with toasted shredded coconut, crushed almonds, or a drizzle of coconut cream. To bring a polished look to your presentation, portion servings into a set of attractive containers, such as the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup). They’re airtight for storing leftovers and perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts.

Serving, Storing, and Planning Ahead

Coconut chia pudding keeps beautifully in the fridge for several days—meaning you can meal-prep ahead with ease. Mix your batch right in the container, pop on the lid, and give it a shake. For easy scooping and serving, use a Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display to portion out the pudding evenly, ensuring fuss-free meal prep throughout your week.
