Coconut & Lime Chia Pots

These little pots are cool, creamy and bright with lime, which keeps the richness of the coconut in check. They feel a bit like a quiet, pudding-shop version of key lime pie, only far lighter to make. Pop them in the fridge ahead of time and dessert is done before dinner starts.

Method
Serves 4 · about 10 minutes from start to finish.
Whisk the coconut milk, almond milk, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla and salt in a bowl until smooth.
Stir in the chia seeds and half of the desiccated coconut.
Leave for 5 minutes, whisk again to break up any clumps, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Give the pudding a final stir and divide it between 4 small glasses or jars.
Scatter over the remaining desiccated coconut and a little extra lime zest.
Serve straight from the fridge while cold and thick.

Cook's tip
For the neatest texture, make these the night before - chia thickens more evenly with a long chill.
