🥥 Mango Coconut Chia Pudding Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat or light for creaminess)
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced (reserve half for purée)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Mango Coconut Chia Pudding

1. Mix the Base

Start by combining coconut milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a jar. Whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute the chia seeds.

2. Chill to Thicken

Next, cover and refrigerate for 4+ hours. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid, forming a thick pudding texture.

3. Prep the Mango

While the pudding sets, dice the mango. For extra creaminess, blend half into a purée.

4. Layer & Serve

Once set, stir the pudding, then top with mango pieces or purée. Serve chilled for maximum freshness!

Pro Tips

  • Sweetness hack: Skip maple syrup if your mango is very ripe.
