1ripe mangopeeled and diced, divided
3tablespoonschia seeds
1tablespoonmaple syrup or honeyoptional, to taste
½teaspoonvanilla extract
Pinchof salt
Toasted coconut flakes and extra mango for garnishoptional
Instructions
Blend the mango and coconut milk: In a blender, combine ¾ of the diced mango and coconut milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Mix the chia pudding: Pour the mango-coconut mixture into a bowl. Stir in chia seeds, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and sweetener if using. Mix well to combine.
Let it rest: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
Assemble and serve: Before serving, stir the pudding to check for texture. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk. Spoon into jars or bowls, top with remaining diced mango and toasted coconut if desired. Enjoy chilled!
Notes
Use ripe mangoes – The sweeter the mango, the better the flavor. Ataulfo or Alphonso varieties work wonderfully.
Shake or stir after 30 minutes – This prevents chia seeds from clumping and ensures even pudding texture.
Chill overnight for best results – The longer it rests, the thicker and creamier it gets.
Layer for presentation – Try layering the pudding with mango puree or coconut yogurt for a parfait-style look.
