Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Chia seeds (60 grams if you’re a metric person)
• 1 cup Coconut milk (that’s 240 ml for my precise chefs)
• Half a Mango. Dice it, don’t slice it. (100 grams-ish)
• An equal half of Pineapple, also diced (another 100 grams thereabouts)
• 2 tablespoons of the sweet stuff – Agave syrup or honey (30 ml if you’re counting)
• A tiny 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract (2.5 ml, it makes a difference!)
• 2 tablespoons of shredded, unsweetened Coconut (30 grams for the curious)
• A single Kiwi. Slice it, don’t dice it! (around 100 grams)
• One Passionfruit. We just want the pulpy bit.

Time it takes: About 10 minutes of actual doing stuff. Plus, a 4-hour break (or overnight if you binge-watch that new series).
Who’s coming over? Just enough for 2!

• FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
• What’s the Best Coconut Milk to Use?
  Not all coconut milk is created equal. For the creamiest texture, opt for full-fat canned coconut milk. If you’re watching your calories, light coconut milk works too but may not be as rich.
• Can I Substitute Other Fruits?
  Absolutely! While this recipe captures the tropical theme, feel free to experiment with berries, banana, or even pomegranate seeds. Just keep the quantities similar for consistency.
• How Long Can I Store This Pudding in the Fridge?
  Stored in an airtight container, the pudding can last for up to 5 days. But remember, the fresher, the better!
• Agave Syrup or Honey – Which is Better?
  Both bring their unique flavor profile. Agave is milder and vegan-friendly, while honey has a distinct taste. It’s really up to your palate and dietary preferences.
• Why Do My Chia Seeds Clump Together?
  Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand. If they’re not stirred well initially, they can stick together. Hence the mid-dance stir suggestion!
• Can I Make This Dairy-Free or Vegan?
  The recipe is already dairy-free. If you want to ensure it’s vegan, use agave syrup instead of honey.
• Is There a Way to Speed Up the Setting Process?
  While patience is recommended for the best texture, if you’re in a hurry, you can freeze the mixture for about 1-2 hours. Just ensure it doesn’t turn into a solid block.
• Why is My Pudding Too Runny/Liquid?
  Different brands of coconut milk and the age of chia seeds can affect consistency. If it’s too runny, add a tad more chia seeds and wait a bit longer.
• Can I Double or Triple the Recipe for a Larger Gathering?
  Absolutely! Just multiply the ingredients accordingly. Just remember to give the mixture a good stir to ensure even distribution of chia seeds.
• How Can I Boost the Protein Content Further?
  You can add a scoop of your favorite neutral or vanilla protein powder while mixing. Or, top with some nuts or hemp seeds for an extra protein punch.
• I hope these FAQs help enhance your tropical chia seed pudding experience! Enjoy!
