Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
 

  • 14 fluid ounces coconut milk (usually 1 can)
  • 5 tablespoons chia seed
  • 2 tablespoons honey or your preferred sweetener
  • 3 ripe mangoes

Instructions

  • Make the chia pudding:
    Shake up the can of coconut milk and pour it into a large measuring cup or bowl.
  • Add the chia seeds and honey and stir or whisk until well combined.
  • Cover and allow the chia seeds to set in the fridge for at least 20 to 30 minutes or best overnight.
    *The chia pudding will be a bit on the thicker side if its soaked overnight. The chia pudding will also be thicker when cold due to the fat in the coconut milk.*
  • Prepare the mangoes:
    While the chia seeds are soaking, make the mango puree. Peel 2 mangoes and remove as much flesh off the mangoes as possible. Place it into a blender and blend until smooth. Discard the mango skin and seed. Keep refrigerated until needed.
  • For the third mango, peel and dice the mango. Set aside in the fridge until needed.
  • Assembly:
    Once the chia seeds are done soaking and is thick like pudding, divide the pureed mango into 4 jars or glasses. Add the chia pudding on top of the pureed mango and top with diced mango.
  • Stir and enjoy!

  • Depending on the brand of coconut milk used, the chia seed pudding can vary in richness. If you prefer your chia pudding less rich, you can substitute some coconut milk with water.
  • This chia pudding recipe yield a pudding like consistency after the mango puree is stirred into it. If you prefer it not so thick, use 1 tablespoon less chia seed.
  • Layering the chia pudding and mango puree is totally optional and solely for aesthetics. Feel free to combine the chia pudding, pureed mango, and diced mango altogether.
