Afterwards, I blended all the ingredients (orange juice, coconut milk, coconut flakes, orange extract and orange zest) in the blender except chia seeds.

Lastly, I vigorously whipped up chia seeds in the blended coconut orange juice and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.

In the morning just before serving, I vigorously whipped the pudding again and spooned it in the serving jars/bowls.

Then topped it with some fresh oranges and fresh coconuts.
