Description

This refreshing Mango Chia Pudding recipe combines creamy coconut milk with fresh mango and nutrient-rich chia seeds. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, it’s a perfect make-ahead breakfast or healthy dessert that’s both vegan and gluten-free.


Ingredients

Fruit

  • 2 Large Fresh Mangos (~500g peeled and cored weight)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups Coconut Milk (480ml, canned, full fat, unsweetened)
  • 4 Tbsp Maple Syrup (or other sweetener of your choice)

Seeds

  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds (80g)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Mango Puree: Add the flesh of one of the mangos to a blender or food processor and process into a smooth purée to create a fresh and vibrant base for the pudding.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, and mango purée until fully combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Add Mango Chunks: Chop the second mango into bite-sized chunks and mix most of them into the chia seed mixture, reserving a few chunks for garnish.
  4. Initial Chill and Stir: Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to start thickening. After 15 minutes, remove and stir the pudding thoroughly to prevent clumping.
  5. Final Chill: Return the pudding to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes, allowing the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and the pudding to set.
  6. Serve: Spoon the set pudding into four serving glasses, top with the reserved mango chunks, and serve chilled for a deliciously creamy and fruity treat.

Notes

  • For a sweeter pudding, adjust the maple syrup amount to taste or substitute with honey or agave nectar.
  • Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the creamiest texture; light coconut milk will result in a thinner pudding.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the entire mixture before setting it to chill.
  • This pudding can be made up to one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • For added crunch, top with toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts.
