Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 0.25 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • to taste toasted coconut flakes for garnish
  • to taste fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
  2. Add the chia seeds to the coconut milk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
  3. Once mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and create a pudding-like consistency.
  4. When ready to serve, take the pudding out of the refrigerator. Stir it well to break up any clumps.
  5. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding with the diced mango. You can add layers if desired, by alternating between chia pudding and mango.
  6. Top with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and garnished with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and visual appeal.
