🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- 1. Prep the Mango: First, wash and peel a ripe mango. Then, chop it into small, manageable pieces for easy blending. If your mango isn't perfectly ripe, microwaving it for 30 seconds can help to soften it slightly.
- 2. Blend the Mango: Next, add the chopped mango chunks to your blender. Give it a good whir until you reach a smooth and creamy consistency. A few little mango chunks are fine, but the goal is a fairly smooth puree.
- 3. Mix the Pudding: In a medium bowl, combine the blended mango puree with chia seeds. You'll want to use a generous amount of chia seeds, about 2 tablespoons for a single serving or 6 for this recipe. Gently stir them in, making sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the mango mixture.
- 4. Sweeten (optional): For a bit of extra sweetness, add your preferred sweetener—honey or maple syrup works great. Start with a small amount, about 1-2 tablespoons depending on your taste and your mango's sweetness. Stir thoroughly until the sweetener dissolves completely.
- 5. Chill and Enjoy: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or put a lid on it to prevent any unwanted scents from reaching your pudding. Pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight. This gives the chia seeds enough time to absorb the liquid, creating that wonderfully thick and creamy pudding texture you're looking for. Once it's properly chilled, you're ready to dig in! Garnish with fresh mint or extra mango chunks for a fancy touch!
📝 Notes
- For a thicker pudding, let it chill for longer. If it's too thick, add a splash of milk or water.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your taste and the sweetness of your mango.
