Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup chia seeds, 1 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk, 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp lime zest, and 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chia pudding mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumps.
  3. Step 3: While pudding sets, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 diced ripe mango, 1 small seeded and finely chopped jalapeño, 2 tbsp finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl. Mix well and chill until serving.
  4. Step 4: To serve, stir the chia pudding to smooth it out and divide into 4 serving glasses. Top each with a generous spoonful of mango salsa for a bright, spicy contrast.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with extra lime zest or cilantro if desired, and enjoy a light, tropical summer dessert.
