Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Pinch of sea salt

Optional toppings: dark chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or extra shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.

    Let Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes. This helps the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.

      Stir Again: After the resting period, stir the mixture once more to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

        Add Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut to the mixture, ensuring it is evenly mixed throughout.

          Prepare Molds: Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for expansion.

            Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

              Pop & Serve: Once frozen, carefully pop the chia bites out of the molds. If using an ice cube tray, you can run it under warm water for a few seconds to make removal easier.

                Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, roll the frozen bites in crushed nuts, dark chocolate chips, or extra shredded coconut before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Enjoy these delightful bites as a healthy snack or dessert!
