VEGAN MOTHER’S DAY WISH LIST RECIPE: COCONUT MANGO CHIA PUDDING
This Mother's Day, surprise your mom with a delightful and nutritious vegan treat that celebrates the flavors of the season. This Coconut Mango Chia Pudding is not only delicious but also packed with plant-based goodness. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chia seeds
1 cup coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chia Seed Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup or agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Let it Set:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chia seed mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
Prepare the Mango Puree:
In a blender or food processor, puree half of the diced mango until smooth. You can add a splash of water if needed to help blend the mango into a smooth puree.
Assemble the Parfaits:
Divide the chilled chia pudding evenly into serving glasses or jars, leaving some space at the top for the mango puree and toppings. Then, layer the mango puree on top of the chia pudding in each glass.
Garnish and Serve:
Top each parfait with the remaining diced mango, shredded coconut, and fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Feel free to get creative with additional toppings like sliced bananas, berries, or chopped nuts.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the Coconut Mango Chia Pudding parfaits immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These refreshing and vibrant parfaits are perfect for a Mother's Day brunch or as a sweet treat any time of day.
This Coconut Mango Chia Pudding is not only vegan and nutritious but also bursting with tropical flavors that will delight your mom's taste buds. She'll appreciate the thoughtfulness and love that went into making this special dessert just for her. Cheers to celebrating Mom with delicious vegan delights!
