FAQ

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or enjoy cold as a pudding.

What if I don't have pumpkin pie spice?

Mix together cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of cloves, or use just cinnamon for a simpler flavor profile.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Freezing isn't recommended as the texture may become grainy when thawed due to the coconut and chia seeds.
