Ingredients:

8 tbsp white or black chia seeds

1 cup water

1 cup milk (dairy, almond, coconut, soy or rice)

4 tbsp pure maple syrup or liquid honey

1 tsp vanilla essence

For the Pineapple & Mango Puree:

1 cup chopped pineapple

1/2 cup chopped mango

Other:

Coconut creme to serve

Coconut chips to serve

Instructions:

• Place chia seeds in a bowl with water, milk, maple syrup and vanilla essence and whisk for 3-5 minutes until the mixture has slightly thickened. Whisking ensures the chia seeds don't clump together when the pudding sets. Cover with a lid and leave to set in the fridge for 3-5 hours, or overnight.
• Using a high powered blender or small food processor, puree the pineapple and mango until smooth.
• Divide the pudding between four jars/bowls. Top with a generous amount of pineapple mango puree.
• Add fresh pineapple, mango, coconut chips and coconut creme to taste.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate in airtight containers up to 3 days.
