Step four:
Now turn off the heat and let the ingredients cool for 5-10 minutes.
Step five:
Then stir in the chia seeds.
Step six:
Transfer the via pudding to a bowl or jar and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or overnight for an easy breakfast).
Tips and variations:

- Turn this into chocolate raspberry chia pudding by adding some chocolate chips!
How to serve:
This pudding is delicious served as is, but feel free to top it with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, more fresh raspberries or other fruit or even chopped nuts or seeds. Chia pudding is normally eaten cold but you could also heat it before serving if you prefer warm chia pudding.
How to store:
Store any leftover chia pudding in the fridge in an airtight container or jar for up to 5 days. It will thicken the longer it sits so feel free to stir in a bit more coconut milk before serving.
Chia pudding also freezes really well.

I am SO sorry to hear about the iCloud fiasco! I had no idea deleting photos from iCloud would also delete from your computer! That's insane! Sounds like a good reason to enjoy more of this awesome chia pudding you created! I can't wait to try it! But seriously, I hope you're able to quickly get those photos re-shot and that your new system will keep everything safely backed up! xoxo

What other nut would use substitute for cashew on the crumble, on AIP so avoid cashews, would almond, walnut, brazil or macadamia work?
Erin Carter
Hey Justin! So the AIP doesn't allow any nuts or seeds so this recipe is probably not a great option for you. I also have not tried the recipe with any other variations than what has been written so I am not sure if anything else would work. I leave substitutions to a readers direction as any modification to a recipe I cannot be responsible for.
