Ingredients (for 4 servings of 120 ml or 1 cup)

• 4 tablespoons of chia seeds
• 600 ml of coconut milk
• Sweetener to taste (this can be stevia extract, or between 2 and 4 tablespoons of your favorite granulated sweetener)
• Fresh mango to taste (or seasonal fruit: pineapple, strawberries, peaches, etc.)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the dessert

1. In a large bowl, mix the 4 tablespoons of chia seeds with the 600 ml of coconut milk.
2. Add your chosen sweetener and mix well so that the seeds do not clump together.
3. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a thick, gel-like texture.
   • Tip: For a firmer texture and more intense flavor, you can leave it overnight.

Step 2: Serve and decorate

1. Serve the dessert in individual glasses or cups.
2. Decorate with pieces of fresh mango or any seasonal fruit you have at home.
   • Recommendation: Pineapple combines especially well with the flavor of coconut.

Additional tips:

• More homogeneous texture : If you prefer a dessert without whole seeds, you can blend the mixture once it has rested.
• Crunchy touch : Add homemade granola, unsweetened shredded coconut, or toasted seeds just before serving.
• Flavored version : You can add a touch of natural vanilla or cinnamon to the coconut milk before refrigerating.
• For more protein : Add a tablespoon of almond butter or a serving of unflavored plant-based protein powder.
