Instructions
Tips
Make sure you choose the right mango. A ripe mango will yield to gentle pressure and feel somewhat soft but not mushy. It should also feel slightly heavier in your hand due to the juicy flesh inside, and it will typically emit a sweet, fruity aroma once it is ripe.
Tips
Choose between black and white chia seeds. Black chia seeds have a slightly stronger, nuttier flavour, while white chia seeds are milder.
Tips
Give the chia seeds ample time to soak up the liquid and swell up, which usually takes about four hours. However, leaving it in the fridge overnight allows the seeds to fully hydrate and achieve a perfect pudding consistency. In addition, it saves you time in the morning when all you need to do is to add your preferred toppings.

Its distinct texture straddles the line between creamy and crunchy with the rich flavoured layers that seem to unfold with every bite. It is not just a treat; it is an experience. A velvety blend of mango, coconut milk, and regular milk with chia seeds forms a luxurious pudding that is delicately layered with a combination of skyr and honey, adding a sweet, creamy counterpoint. The final flourish? A generous topping of fresh mango pieces, coconut flakes, and a sprinkle of bee pollen.

A tropical twist from mango and coconut
The pairing of mango and coconut transports you straight to a sun-drenched beach. Mango introduces a vibrant sweetness, a characteristic juiciness, and an undeniable tropical charm. Coconut lends its creamy texture and subtly sweet flavour that rounds off the zesty mango taste perfectly. Together, they create a dessert that feels like a mini vacation to the tropics right in your kitchen. It is a tropical treat that will whisk your senses away to sunnier shores.

Serve it in a bowl for a hearty breakfast or dish it up in elegant dessert glasses for a refined, portion-sized treat that is sure to impress guests. No matter how it is served, it promises to be the star of your meal and a hit with everyone.
Choose the perfect toppings for the occasion
One of the best things about our mango chia pudding is the ability to customise the toppings to suit your taste and the occasion. Want to dial up the sweetness? A drizzle of honey will not only heighten the natural sweetness but also add a lovely smooth texture. Dried fruits, like raisins, apricots, or cranberries, offer a chewy contrast to the creamy pudding while adding a concentrated burst of fruity sweetness. But perhaps you prefer a bit of crunch? Toasted nuts, such as almond slivers, walnuts, or pistachios, give a pleasant crunch and impart a rich, earthy flavour that beautifully complements the tropical vibe of mango. Granola, with its toasted oats and nuts, is another fantastic option, adding a satisfying crunch and a subtle toasty flavour. Ultimately, it is all about striking the right balance to complement the creamy, tropical base of the mango chia pudding. So do not be afraid to experiment and find your favourite combination.
