Instructions
Here's a step-by-step guide to making Coconut Mango Chia Seed Pudding:
-
- Combine 1 cup of chia seeds in a mixing bowl with 2 cups of coconut milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
-
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
-
- While the pudding is chilling, prepare the mango. Peel and dice a ripe mango into small cubes.
-
- Once the chia pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the refrigerator. Give it a good stir to break up any clumps that may have formed.
-
- Spoon a layer of chia pudding into serving glasses or bowls to assemble the pudding.
-
- Add a layer of diced mango on top of the chia pudding.
-
- Repeat layering with chia pudding and mango until the glasses are filled.
-
- Optionally, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness, if desired.
-
- Garnish with shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
-
- Serve immediately for a refreshing treat, or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
-
- Before serving, stir the pudding to mix the mango evenly throughout.
