Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened, toasted if preferred)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

    Refrigerate: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes, then whisk again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it thickens into a pudding-like consistency.

      Prepare the Mango: While the pudding sets, prepare your mango. Dice the ripe mango into small pieces, ready for layering.

        Assemble the Pudding: Once the chia pudding has thickened, remove it from the fridge. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding with the diced mango. Start with a layer of chia pudding, then a layer of mango, continuing until you fill your containers.

          Top it Off: After layering, sprinkle the top with shredded coconut. If desired, you can lightly toast the coconut in a pan over medium heat until golden brown for added flavor.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately or chill for an additional 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
