Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, if not vegan)

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnishing

Additional diced mango for topping

Optional: toasted coconut flakes for an extra crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding Base:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until all the chia seeds are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

      Chill the Mixture:

        - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

          Prepare the Mango:

            - While the pudding sets, peel and dice the ripe mango. Reserve a few pieces for topping later. If desired, you can blend the mango in a blender until smooth for a mango puree to swirl into the pudding.

              Assemble the Pudding:

                - Once the chia mixture has thickened, give it a good stir. If the pudding is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.

                  - In dessert glasses or bowls, layer the chia pudding, fresh mango, and mango puree (if using). You can create swirls by gently mixing the layers with a spoon.

                    Garnish and Serve:

                      - Top each serving with additional diced mango, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, and fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.

                        Enjoy:

                          - Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy!
