Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the chia pudding:
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- For the mango layer:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
- For topping:
- Toasted coconut flakes
- Fresh mint leaves
- Sliced almonds
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- 2. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
- 3. For the mango layer: Blend mangoes, lime juice, and ginger (if using) until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- 4. To serve: Layer chia pudding and mango puree in glasses or bowls.
- 5. Top with toasted coconut, mint leaves, and almonds.
Notes
For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey. Pudding thickens more over time – add extra coconut milk if too thick. Unripe mangoes can be used but may need extra sweetener.
