Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large ripe mango (peeled and diced)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

    Mango Preparation: While the chia pudding is setting, peel and dice the ripe mango into small cubes. Set aside.

      Assemble the Parfait: Once the chia pudding is ready, give it a good stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds. In serving glasses or bowls, start layering the parfait by adding a layer of chia pudding at the bottom, followed by a layer of diced mango, and then a sprinkle of shredded coconut.

        Repeat Layers: Continue layering the chia pudding, diced mango, and shredded coconut until the serving glass is filled. Aim for 3-4 layers.

          Garnish and Serve: Top the final layer with extra mango and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a beautiful finish. Add a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately or chill for a couple of hours for an even more refreshing treat.
