This pumpkin chia pudding came out soooo creamy and delicious !!🎃

**Ingredients:**

-Collagen

- 1/4 cup chia seeds

- 1 cup coconut cream (full-fat coconut milk works too)

- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

- 2-3 sugar or honey

- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste)

- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

- Hawaiian black lava salt

- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a dollop of whipped cream

**Instructions:**

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

2. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness and spice levels according to your preference. Add more sweetner or pumpkin pie spice if needed.

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like texture.

5. After the chilling time, give the pudding a good stir to redistribute any settled chia seeds.

6. Divide the Pumpkin Coconut Cream Chia Pudding into serving dishes.

7. Serve chilled and enjoy!
