Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup (40g) chia seeds
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large ripe mango (about 1 cup or 165g), peeled and chopped
  • 12 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for mango coulis)
  • 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, toasted
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: chopped nuts (like macadamias) for topping

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to break up any clumps. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours until creamy.
  2. Peel and chop the mango. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine mango chunks, lime juice, and maple syrup. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mango softens and breaks down. Blend or mash for desired texture. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve. Cool to room temperature.
  3. Toast the shredded coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and cool.
  4. Stir the chia pudding gently to combine. Spoon pudding into serving glasses or bowls. Drizzle mango coulis on top, then sprinkle toasted coconut flakes.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes for a cooler pudding. Stir in a splash of coconut milk if pudding is too thick.

Notes

Stir chia seeds well when mixing to avoid clumps. Toast coconut flakes carefully to avoid burning. Make mango coulis fresh in the morning for best flavor. Adjust pudding thickness by adding more chia seeds or coconut milk as needed. Store pudding and toppings separately for freshness.
