Coconut milk turns chia seeds into a spoonable pudding while diced mango gives each bite a fresh finish. This measured mango version appears within the original chia roundup. Stir a second time before chilling so the seeds disperse evenly, and add the mango at serving to preserve its texture. Mix chia, coconut milk and vanilla in a bowl. Rest 10 minutes, then stir and break up clumps. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours until spoonable. Peel and dice mango shortly before serving. Stir pudding and top with mango. The measured ingredients and timing help you follow the method and judge when the dish is ready to serve.
