Print Recipe

A refreshing and healthy dessert featuring a creamy coconut chia pudding base topped with vibrant passion fruit and sweet mango. Perfect for a quick, nourishing snack or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 3–4 passion fruits, halved
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, pour 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) of full-fat coconut milk. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these together gently but thoroughly until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup (50 g) of chia seeds evenly over the coconut milk mixture. Stir well with a spoon or whisk to prevent clumps. Stir again after about 5 minutes to break up any settled seeds.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. While the pudding chills, peel and dice 2 ripe mangoes into small cubes. Halve 3-4 fresh passion fruits and scoop out the pulp and seeds.
  5. After chilling, stir the pudding to fluff it up. Portion into serving jars or bowls and top each serving generously with fresh mango cubes and passion fruit pulp.
  6. Optionally, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready.

Notes

If pudding is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of coconut milk to loosen. If too thin, add a teaspoon more chia seeds and chill for another 30 minutes. Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Fresh passion fruit seeds add delightful crunch and tang. Can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave. Can blend chia mixture before chilling for smoother texture if desired.
