Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a nutty flavor)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup mixed frozen berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding Base: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Be sure to blend until the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, preventing any clumps from forming.

    Refrigerate: Cover the bowl securely with plastic wrap or a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, although letting it sit overnight will yield the best results. This time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, resulting in a creamy pudding-like texture.

      Thaw the Berries: While the chia pudding sets, take the frozen mixed berries and transfer them to a small bowl. Allow them to thaw naturally at room temperature for about 30 minutes. If you’re short on time, you can microwave the berries in 30-second intervals until they soften, usually taking no more than 1 minute.

        Assemble the Cups: After the chia pudding has thickened beautifully, remove it from the refrigerator and stir it well to ensure a smooth consistency. Using pint-sized cups or small glass jars, carefully layer the ingredients. Start by spooning a layer of chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of thawed mixed berries. Repeat the layering process until your cups or jars are filled to the desired height. For an extra touch, top each cup with a few fresh berries.

          Garnish: If you wish to elevate your presentation, add a sprig of fresh mint on top of each cup. This not only adds a splash of color but also provides a refreshing fragrance.

            Serve or Freeze: Enjoy the berry chia pudding cups immediately, or if you prefer a frosted treat, cover each cup with a lid and place them in the freezer for later enjoyment. If you decide to freeze them, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to ease the eating process.
