When your chia pudding is ready, prepare the coconut cream, or top with my homemade yogurt, or just add your favorite toppings (toasted coconut, fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, a chocolate drizzle, etc.).
To prepare the coconut cream
Pour the cold coconut paste, without the liquid coconut juice, into a bowl or small blender (Nutribullet), add 1/4 cup maple syrup, and whip until it becomes a soft white cream.
Top your chia puddings with the coconut maple cream and some fresh or dried fruit.
