What goes in mango chia seeds pudding?
To make chia pudding with mangoes, you will need the following basic ingredients:
Ingredient notes
- Mango pulp: I have used canned mango pulp but you can easily make mango pulp at home by peeling, chopping, and blending mangoes.
- Chia seeds: Use a fresh stock of chia seeds as old chia seeds don't soak the liquid properly.
- Coconut milk: Mangoes taste the best with coconut milk. The combination of coconut milk and mangoes gives a delicious and refreshing tropical flavor to any dish they are added to. However, you can also use any other milk of your choice.
- Maple syrup: I have used maple syrup but any other sweetener can be added. If your mango pulp is already very sweet, the additional sweetener can be skipped too.
- Salt: You won't even taste it in the pudding but it balances all the sweetness of mangoes, maple syrup, and coconut, milk making the pudding taste even better.
- Nuts: Feel free to use nuts of your choice. I have added chopped cashew nuts and pistachios. You may also skip adding nuts.
- Mango: Mango is used to cut mango cubes for the toppings. You can use canned or frozen mango cubes too.
