Directions
Combin the tapioca and chia seeds in a pot, then cover them with water. Let the mixture sit for at least an hour until it thickens and becomes a bit gelatinous. Once that’s ready, stir in the coconut milk, palm sugar, cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook everything over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the pudding thickens to your liking—this usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. When it’s done, take the pot off the heat and mix in the vanilla. Give it a final stir, then let it cool slightly before serving.
What To Serve With This Dish
Serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Fresh berries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts add a nice contrast in texture and flavor. A dusting of powdered sugar can also make it look extra inviting.
Freezing Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving to enhance the taste and texture. Avoid freezing, as it may change the consistency.
