Ingredients

How It’s Done

To make the Easy Vegan Coconut Chia “Cream”: Combine everything and stir well. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. It will thicken and become a pourable “cream”. Serve over warm baked fruit or refrigerate for up to 10 days.

Yields: About 4 cups

Chia seeds are native to Peru, where they fueled ancient Incan warriors as they made their long treks through the Andes Mountains

 

Chef Katie’s Tips:

Other Non-Dairy Milk: Use your favorite drinking non-dairy milk.  

More Sweetness: If you want added sweetness, you can add date water (left from soaking dates in warm water), maple syrup, Stevia, or your preferred sweetener.

Play with Spices:  Cinnamon is an easy go-to spice, but experiment with other sweet spices.  Cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and even a Pumpkin Pie spice mix would all taste great!
