Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (such as mango, kiwi, pineapple, and berries)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk the mixture well to ensure there are no lumps from the chia seeds.

    Let it Set: Once well combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.

      Prep the Fruits: While the chia pudding is setting, wash and chop your selected fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces. Keep your mix colorful and vibrant for an appealing look!

        Assemble the Pudding: After the pudding has thickened, remove it from the refrigerator. Stir gently to combine the chia seeds that might have settled at the bottom.

          Layer the Dish: In serving glasses, add a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of your chopped fresh fruits. Repeat the layering with more chia pudding and top with a final layer of mixed fruits.

            Garnish: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness and decor.

              Serve: Enjoy your Tropical Paradise Chia Pudding immediately, or keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It makes for a delicious breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert!
