Ingredients

  • ½ cup heavy cream or other low-carb milk
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk (see note)
  • teaspoon salt
  • 4 packets stevia or 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar substitute to taste
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cup chia seeds see note

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until well blended.
  • Let sit for a few minutes and then stir it again.
  • Cover and place in refrigerator until thick like pudding.

Notes

If using all almond milk, you may need to up the chia seeds to ½ cup.
The amount of chia seeds or liquid can be adjusted as needed to achieve the desired thickness. If it's too thin, add more seeds. If it's too thick, stir in a little more milk.
If it turns too thick after chilling in the refrigerator it can be beaten with an electric mixer to fluff it up.
