I reckon I’m a breakfast kind of feller, as y’all might’ve picked up on account of me mentionin’ it a time or two (or more like 20 times).
I do enjoy mixin’ it up: one bright mornin’ pancakes, the next some hearty porridge, then avocado and marmite on sourdough.
That’s why I get such a kick outta transformin’ dessert recipes into breakfast options for the followin’ day.
This here smooth-as-silk Mango Coconut Chia Pudding began its journey as one of them dessert recipes. But let’s be frank, food rules ain’t nothin’ but a heap of dull nonsense to start with, so dig in whenever your heart desires!
I had mine – you guessed it – for breakfast and then I went ahead and helped myself to more round tea time.
Creamy coconut milk paired with cool, rejuvenating mango sorbet blend together just right.
It’s the very thing for them hot summer days we’ve all been pining after and makes a dandy milkshake too. But we’ll stick to this recipe here for now.
Notes: The coconut milk gives this pudding an incredibly rich and creamy texture, especially if you opt for full fat.
Usin’ half coconut milk and half other plant based milks that are thinner results in the finest consistency for this sweet treat.

Serves:
2
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup plant based milk of choice (unsweetened)
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 large ripe mango
- 1 Tbsp lime
- 1 Tbsp desicated coconut
Instructions
- Cut up the mango into pieces and leave it in the freezer over night (or for at least 5 hours).
- Mix the coconut milk, other plant based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract and chia seeds in a glass, bowl or jar and let it sit for at least 4 hours to gel.
- In a blender or food prossecor blitz the frozen mango chunks until you have a sorbet. I added a Tbsp of lime juice because I like the combination of acidic sorbet and sweet pudding.
