INGREDIENTS
- ⅓ cup canned coconut cream or coconut milk
- ½ fresh pineapple, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1 lime, peeled
- ⅓ cup chia seeds
- 1 can mandarin oranges, drained

METHOD
- In blender, purée pineapple pieces, lime and coconut cream until liquefied. Use a spatula to scrape down sides of blender until mixture is smooth.
- In medium bowl, combine prepared pineapple cream mixture with chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to allow chia seeds to hydrate and the pudding to thicken up.

Korey’s tip
Canned mandarin oranges are guaranteed sweet and bright in colour. Fresh oranges can be used, but you may need to adjust sweetness to taste.
