A refreshing and tropical Coconut Mango Chia Seed Pudding featuring creamy coconut milk, sweet mango puree, zesty lime, and crunchy toasted coconut. This healthy pudding is packed with fiber, plant-based protein, and natural sweetness, making it a perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned or from a carton)
  • 1/2 cup mango puree (or fresh mango, blended)
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
  • Zest of 1 lime

Topping

  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • Fresh mango chunks (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, mango puree, and maple syrup (if using). Stir in the chia seeds and lime zest. Mix well until everything is evenly combined, ensuring the chia seeds are dispersed to avoid clumps.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  3. Toast the Coconut: While the pudding is chilling, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the coconut is golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  4. Serve: Once the chia pudding is set, give it a good stir to soften any clumps. Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars, top with the toasted coconut, fresh mango chunks, and a sprinkle of lime zest for a burst of fresh flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use canned coconut milk for a richer and creamier texture; carton coconut milk is lighter but works fine.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey as preferred.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Toast shredded coconut carefully to avoid burning; keep stirring constantly.
  • This pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts or seeds as toppings if desired.
