Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until well combined and no clumps remain.
Step 2: Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping, until it thickens into a pudding-like consistency.
Step 3: After chilling, fold in 1 cup diced ripe mango gently to distribute evenly without breaking the fruit down.
Step 4: Spoon the pudding into serving glasses or bowls. Sprinkle 1 tsp fresh lime zest and 2 tbsp toasted shredded coconut on top for a fragrant, tropical finish. Serve chilled.
