Indulge in a tropical delight with Mango Coconut Chia Pudding—a luscious combination of creamy coconut milk, sweet mango, and nutritious chia seeds. This vegan-friendly dessert offers a refreshing and satisfying treat that’s perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mango Puree:
Place the diced mango in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix Chia Seeds:
In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup or agave nectar, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Layer Ingredients:
In serving glasses or jars, alternate layers of mango puree and chia seed mixture. Start with a layer of mango puree, followed by a layer of chia seed mixture, and repeat until glasses are filled.
- Chill:
Cover the glasses or jars with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to thicken and set.
- Serve:
Once chilled and set, remove the mango coconut chia pudding from the refrigerator. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
