Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey (adjust sweetness to taste)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: Additional sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Strawberries: In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries and blend until smooth. You can reserve a few pieces of strawberries to mix in later for added texture if desired.

    Mix the Coconut Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into the coconut milk mixture and stir until evenly mixed. Add in the chia seeds and stir well to ensure they’re evenly distributed.

        Rest and Thicken: Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chia seeds swell and thicken the mixture.

          Fill Popsicle Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds. If desired, drop in a few sliced strawberries to add color and texture.

            Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered.

              Freeze: Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

                Unmold Pops: To remove the popsicles from the molds, gently run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds until they release easily.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Strawberry Chia Pudding Pops immediately. They are perfect for a refreshing treat on a hot day!
