- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ½ a pineapple, cut into slices
- Bunch of mint leaves
- 2 tbsp honey (or rice malt syrup)

- Empty the can of coconut cream into a bowl and stir rigorously (or blend with a stick blender) to combine the cream with the liquid and ensure no lumps.

- Set your serving jars or glasses and place a layer of diced pineapple in the bottom of each. Spoon in a layer of chia coconut mixture, and repeat two more times so that you have three layers of each.
- Top each pudding with some pineapple pieces, chopped mint and drizzle with honey.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
