Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 13.5 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 5 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • ½ cup 5 Minute Mango Curd
  • Chopped mango (optional, for garnish)
  • Extra shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Pour the unsweetened coconut milk into a mason jar or mixing bowl. Add the chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, honey, and vanilla extract.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well or secure the lid on the mason jar and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Chill to Thicken: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill it for at least 30 minutes or until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Prepare Serving Options: You can mix the mango curd directly into the pudding, then top with chopped mango and shredded coconut for garnish.
  5. Layer for Presentation: Alternatively, layer the pudding and mango curd in a glass for a visually appealing dessert, repeating the layers and finishing with your desired toppings.
  6. Serve: For gatherings, serve the pudding in mini shot glasses as individual dessert portions to delight your guests.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey used or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • Letting the pudding chill overnight will enhance the texture and deepen the flavors.
  • Use fresh or frozen mango chunks as an additional topping for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
