Description

This refreshing Mango Chia Pudding combines creamy coconut milk, nutrient-packed chia seeds, and sweet ripe mango puree for a healthy and delicious tropical dessert or breakfast option. Naturally dairy-free, this pudding sets in the fridge for a creamy texture and is topped with toasted coconut flakes and fresh mango for added flavor and crunch.

Ingredients

Chia Pudding

  • 2 cups canned light coconut milk
  • 4-5 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup

Mango Puree

  • 2 mangoes, peeled and diced

Toppings

  • Diced mango (for garnish)
  • Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the canned light coconut milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the chia seeds are evenly distributed and the maple syrup is fully incorporated.
  2. Initial Rest: Place the bowl in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing the liquid. After this initial rest, stir the mixture again to prevent clumping and ensure even consistency.
  3. Set the Pudding: Cover and refrigerate the chia pudding mixture for at least two hours or overnight. This time allows the pudding to thicken and develop its creamy texture.
  4. Prepare Mango Puree: While the pudding sets, place the peeled and diced mango flesh into a blender. Blend until completely smooth to create a vibrant mango puree.
  5. Assemble the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has set, layer it in a serving jar by alternating spoonfuls of pudding and mango puree. Repeat until the jar is filled.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top the layered pudding with additional diced mango and toasted coconut flakes to enhance flavor and add texture. Serve chilled for a refreshing tropical treat.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for an even creamier texture if preferred.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar based on dietary preferences.
  • For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds to 5 tablespoons.
  • Letting the pudding set overnight enhances flavor and texture.
  • To toast coconut flakes, lightly fry them in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
