Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp lime zest, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until combined.
2. Step 2: Cover and refrigerate the chia mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumps, until thickened to a pudding consistency.
3. Step 3: To make the mango compote, combine 1 diced ripe mango and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and breaks down into a chunky sauce.
4. Step 4: Let the compote cool slightly, then spoon over the chilled chia pudding before serving.
