Creamy coconut mango chia pudding is a tropical, healthy, and refreshing treat made with coconut milk, ripe mango, and chia seeds. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or a light dessert, it’s easy to make, naturally sweetened, and packed with nourishing ingredients.
In a mixing bowl or large jar, whisk together the coconut milk, sweetener of your choice, vanilla extract, unsweetened coconut flakes, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the coconut flakes are evenly dispersed for texture in every bite.
Step 2: Stir in the Chia Seeds
Add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then give it another stir to break up any clumps. This ensures your coconut mango chia pudding has an even, smooth texture throughout.
Step 3: Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. As it chills, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Step 4: Prepare the Mango
While the pudding chills, take half of your diced mango and puree it in a blender or food processor. This creates a vibrant, sweet mango layer or swirl to complement the creamy chia pudding. The other half of the diced mango will be used as a fresh topping.
Step 5: Assemble the Pudding
Spoon the thickened chia pudding into two jars or glasses. Add a generous swirl or layer of mango puree. Top with the remaining diced mango, toasted coconut flakes, and any other desired toppings like granola or mint.
Step 6: Enjoy the Tropical Vibes
Serve your coconut mango chia pudding cold and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness in every spoonful. It’s light, filling, and absolutely delicious.
