Ingredients
Scale
Chia Seed Pudding Base
- ½ cup chia seeds (125 g)
- 2 cups tinned full-fat coconut milk (500 ml)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (65 ml)
Mango Puree
- 1 ripe mango
Instructions
- Prepare pudding base: In a large bowl or container, combine the coconut milk and maple syrup. Add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly dispersed in the liquid.
- Soak chia seeds: Set the mixture aside for 20-25 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a pudding-like texture.
- Make mango puree: Peel and chop the mango into chunks, then place them in a blender. Blitz until you achieve a smooth and creamy mango puree.
- Combine mango puree with pudding: Add half of the mango puree to the soaked chia seed pudding and mix well to integrate the fruity flavor.
- Assemble and serve: Divide the pudding evenly between six small bowls or dessert glasses. Spoon the remaining mango puree on top of each serving as a flavorful topping.
- Refrigerate: Chill the pudding in the refrigerator until ready to serve for a cool and refreshing dessert or breakfast.
Notes
- Chia seeds only require about 20 minutes to soak and thicken in liquid, although you can prepare this pudding the night before and refrigerate it for an overnight version.
- The chia seeds to liquid ratio is 1:4, ensuring proper pudding consistency—1 part seeds to 4 parts liquid (e.g., ½ cup chia seeds to 2 cups coconut milk).
