Instructions

Notes

Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening to ensure the cream and liquid are combined.

Stir the chia seeds immediately after adding them, then again after 5 minutes. This avoids clumps.

Use very ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness. You can also puree extra mango for a vibrant swirl on top.

For a thicker pudding, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze, as the texture changes.

This recipe is perfect for meal prep. It tastes even better after sitting for a day.
