Description
This Mango Coconut Chia Pudding is a tropical delight layered with creamy coconut chia pudding, fresh mango puree, and crunchy toasted coconut flakes. It’s naturally sweet, rich in fiber and omega-3s, and perfect for a refreshing breakfast, light dessert, or wholesome snack.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large ripe mango (peeled, diced, and divided)
2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
1 teaspoon lime zest or a pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract.
2. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the pudding thickens.
4. Peel and dice the mango. Blend half into a smooth puree. Reserve the rest for topping.
5. In serving glasses, layer chia pudding on the bottom.
6. Add a layer of mango puree and then a layer of diced mango.
7. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
8. Add lime zest or a pinch of sea salt if desired.
9. Chill for another 30 minutes for best flavor and texture, or enjoy immediately.
Notes
Stir the chia pudding twice in the first 10 minutes to avoid clumping.
For the richest flavor, always use ripe mangoes and full-fat canned coconut milk.
You can prep the pudding in jars for a perfect grab-and-go meal or snack.
