Method
Prepare the Base
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir with a fork until evenly distributed.
- Add the light coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly with a fork for 1–2 minutes until fully blended and no dry spots remain. The mixture will be loose—that’s correct.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two 16-ounce mason jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly with lids.
Chill and Set
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but ideally overnight (8–12 hours), to allow the oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
Serve and Garnish
- In the morning, remove from the refrigerator. Stir each jar gently to redistribute any separated liquid. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of coconut milk or water to loosen.
- Top each serving with a dollop of coconut whipped cream, a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut, a light dusting of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of crushed graham crackers for that authentic coconut cream pie finish.

Notes
For a vegan version, use maple syrup and coconut whipped cream. To make keto-friendly, replace oats with 2 tbsp chia seeds + 2 tbsp hemp hearts + 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, and use a keto sweetener. Storage: Keeps in the fridge up to 5 days. Freezer-friendly for up to 3 months—thaw overnight in the fridge. To toast coconut: Place shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown (2–3 minutes).
