Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Preparation
Mix Chia and Coconut Milk: In a bowl or jar, combine coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to avoid clumps.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and thicken the mixture.
Add Mango Topping: Before serving, stir the pudding gently. Spoon diced mango over the top or blend mango into the pudding for a smoother texture.
Serve: Enjoy chilled, garnished with extra mango slices or toasted coconut flakes if desired.
Pro Tips
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- For added texture, sprinkle nuts or seeds on top.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste with natural sweeteners.
