At the heart of this recipe is rich coconut milk, which lends a luxurious creaminess that perfectly complements the tiny, nutrient-packed chia seeds. These little seeds are not just a trendy superfood; they are packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a wholesome choice for any meal. A hint of maple syrup adds a natural sweetness, while a splash of vanilla extract elevates the flavor profile, making it aromatic and inviting.

As the chia seeds absorb the coconut milk, they swell and create a delightful pudding-like texture that is both satisfying and refreshing. After a few hours of chilling, this treat transforms into a creamy delight that’s ready to be topped with vibrant chunks of ripe mango. The golden fruit not only adds a pop of color but also brings its own unique sweetness and a dose of vitamins.
