Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
- ¼ cup (40 g) chia seeds
- 1 medium mango, diced
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Garnish and Texture:
- 2 tablespoons (14 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl or jar, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent seed clusters from forming.
- Cover the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or ideally overnight, until the mixture reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Remove the chilled chia pudding from the refrigerator and gently stir to refresh the texture.
- Create visually appealing layers by alternating chia pudding with freshly diced mango pieces in serving glasses.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each layer for added texture and tropical flavor.
- Garnish the final layer with an extra handful of coconut and a few mango chunks for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately while chilled, perfect as a refreshing breakfast, nutritious snack, or light dessert option.
Notes
- Choose full-fat coconut milk for a creamier, richer pudding texture that holds together perfectly.
- Soak chia seeds longer than 2 hours to achieve a smoother, more gel-like consistency that enhances overall mouthfeel.
- Swap maple syrup with alternative sweeteners like honey, agave, or stevia for different dietary needs without compromising flavor profile.
