Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Ripe mangoes The sweeter and more fragrant, the better.
  • 1 cup Coconut milk Full fat preferred for richer flavor.
  • 1/3 cup Chia seeds Fresh chia seeds set better.
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or condensed milk) Adjust based on mango sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances the flavors.
  • 1 pinch Salt Brings out the flavors.

Optional Toppings

  • 1/4 cup Toasted coconut flakes For added texture.
  • 1/2 cup Diced mango For garnish.
  • 1 tablespoon Crushed graham crackers For extra crunch.
  • 1 tablespoon Yogurt Optional, for topping.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Blend the mango flesh and coconut milk in a blender until smooth. Taste and add sweetener if necessary, along with vanilla and salt.
  • Pour the mango coconut mixture into a bowl and stir in the chia seeds until evenly mixed.
  • Stir the mixture again after 10 minutes to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for a thicker consistency.
  • Spoon the mixture into small cups or jars. Top with diced mango, toasted coconut, or other desired toppings.

Serving Suggestions

  • For an elegant presentation, create layers with chia, mango chunks, and coconut cream.

Notes

Best enjoyed chilled. Can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Stir in a splash of coconut milk if the texture thickens too much over time.
