Ube-Coconut Chia Pudding with Toasted Malunggay Flakes
"A vibrant and nutrient-dense Filipino-inspired chia pudding, offering sustained energy with a tropical twist. The ube provides natural sweetness and antioxidants, while coconut milk adds healthy fats. Toasted malunggay flakes offer a subtle savory crunch and a boost of vitamins."
Preparation Steps
In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir well to prevent clumping.
Add the ube halaya and shredded coconut to the mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined and the ube is evenly distributed.
If using, add sweetener to taste and stir again.
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened.
In a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the malunggay powder for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls.
Sprinkle the toasted malunggay flakes over the top just before serving.

"For a creamier texture, you can blend the ube halaya with the coconut milk before adding the chia seeds. If you can't find sugar-free ube halaya, use a small amount and adjust sweetener accordingly. Ensure the malunggay is toasted lightly to bring out its flavor without making it bitter."
