  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes (or overnight)
  • Yield: 2-4 servings

Ingredients

1 can coconut milk

½ cup chia seeds

Maple syrup to taste

4 kiwis, peeled and chopped

2 ataulfo mangos (or 1 paraíso mango), peeled and chopped

Desiccated coconut for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the milk.

  • Add maple syrup to taste and stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the coconut milk and thicken.

  • In the morning, stir the chia pudding to check its consistency. If too thick, add a little more coconut milk to achieve your desired texture.

  • While the pudding is setting, prepare the tropical fruit by peeling and chopping the kiwis and mangos into bite-sized pieces.

  • Once the pudding is ready, spoon it into bowls or jars. Top with the chopped fruit and sprinkle with desiccated coconut.

  • Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

Non-Dairy Milk: Feel free to use almond, cashew, or oat milk if you prefer a different flavor.

Sweeteners: You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or stevia for different sweetness levels.

Add-ins: Add pineapple, papaya, or granola for extra tropical flavors and crunch.

Storage: The pudding can be stored for up to 2 days, but top with fresh fruit just before serving for the best flavor.
