Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup chia seeds, 1 1/4 cups full-fat canned coconut milk, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk well to prevent clumps and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk again and cover, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
Step 2: While pudding sets, puree 1 large peeled and diced ripe mango in a blender until smooth.
Step 3: Just before serving, stir the mango puree into the chilled chia pudding gently to create a marbled effect or mix completely for uniform flavor.
Step 4: Toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 5: Divide the pudding into 4 serving glasses or bowls, sprinkle each with toasted almonds, 1 tsp finely grated lime zest, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a bright, tropical finish.
