Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • to taste toasted coconut flakes for topping
  • to taste fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. Stir in the chia seeds until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  4. Once set, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  5. In serving glasses, layer the chia pudding and diced mango. Start with a layer of chia pudding, then add a layer of mango, and repeat until the glasses are filled.
  6. Top each serving with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the chia pudding in clear glass jars or bowls to showcase the beautiful layers of mango and pudding. Add extra slices of mango and a sprinkle of coconut flakes on top for an elegant finish.
