Coconut Chia & Mango Pudding

If you like desserts that can be made well before dinner, this is a lovely one to keep in your back pocket. The chia turns the coconut milk thick and spoonable, then the mango on top brings colour and a burst of sweetness. A little lime stops it from tasting too rich and keeps the whole thing fresh.

Method
Serves 4 · about 15 minutes from start to finish.
Whisk together the coconut milk, water, vanilla and half the lime zest in a bowl.
Stir in the chia seeds, then leave for 10 minutes. Stir again well so the seeds do not clump together.
Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thickened.
Mix the diced mango with the lime juice just before serving.
Spoon the pudding into bowls or glasses and top with the mango and the remaining lime zest.

Cook's tip
If the pudding sets more firmly than you like, stir in an extra splash of water just before serving to loosen it.
