Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes (Chill for 2 hours)
- Total Time: 10 minutes (plus 2 hours chill time)
- Servings: 2
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced
- Additional honey for drizzling
- A few extra chia seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and the mixture begins to thicken.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a thicker consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a quick stir. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Divide the chia seed pudding into two small glass jars.
- Top each jar with fresh mango slices, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of extra chia seeds for garnish.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the honey to your taste or add a touch of maple syrup.
- Use any fresh fruit you have on hand; berries or kiwi also make excellent toppings.
- For a smoother texture, blend the chia pudding before chilling.
Storage Instructions
Store the chia seed pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The longer it sits, the thicker it will get, so you might need to add a splash of milk before serving.
