Instructions

Preparation: Dice your ripe mango into small, bite-sized cubes and gather all your ingredients for easy access to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Combine Chia Seeds and Coconut Milk: In a medium bowl, whisk the chia seeds into the creamy coconut milk and let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes to allow the seeds to start absorbing the liquid.
Add Flavors: Gently mix in the turmeric powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined for a balanced flavor profile.
Blend for Creaminess: Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until mostly smooth, keeping some texture from the chia seeds to maintain creaminess and body in the pudding.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pudding to set and thicken properly, developing its flavors.
Serve: Before serving, stir the pudding well, then top with additional mango cubes, nuts or seeds, and coconut flakes for extra texture and a burst of tropical flavor.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
For a vegan option, ensure the sweetener is maple syrup rather than honey.
To enhance turmeric absorption, adding a small pinch of black pepper can be beneficial if desired.
The pudding can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance for convenience.
Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup or honey according to taste.
