Prepare the Chia Seed Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut milk with 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Add 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir everything well until the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the coconut milk. -
Chill the Pudding:
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will absorb the coconut milk, thickening the mixture and creating a pudding-like consistency. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, feel free to adjust the amount of honey according to your taste. -
Prepare the Mangoes:
While the chia seed pudding is chilling, peel and dice the ripe mango into small chunks. Make sure the mango is fresh and chilled for a cool, refreshing contrast to the creamy pudding. -
Assemble and Serve:
After the pudding has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Spoon the chia seed pudding into individual serving glasses or bowls. Top each serving with the diced fresh mango, adding a burst of color and sweetness. -
Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves (pudina) for an extra layer of flavor and a pop of green. The mint adds a fresh, aromatic touch that complements the tropical flavors of the coconut and mango.
