Ingredients

Mango:
Choose a ripe mango that feels slightly soft when pressed. A good mango should be juicy, fragrant, and naturally sweet. This is the main flavour of the pudding, so avoid mangoes that are firm, pale, or lacking aroma.

Milk:
Use dairy milk or a plant-based alternative such as coconut, almond, or oat milk. I used almond milk which keeps the pudding fresh and light.

Turmeric:
Use ground turmeric and measure lightly. Just ¼ teaspoon adds a warm golden colour and subtle earthiness without overpowering the mango flavour.

Chia Seeds:
Use fresh chia seeds that are dry and evenly coloured. Chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the pudding while adding fibre, protein, and healthy fats. Stir well to prevent clumping.

Honey or Maple Syrup (optional):
If your mango isn’t very sweet, add a small amount of natural sweetener. The pudding should taste gently sweet, not sugary.

Topping (optional):
Use fresh passion fruit with bright, aromatic pulp. The sharp, tangy flavour cuts through the creaminess and adds a fresh finishing touch.

How to Make Mango Chia Pudding with Greek Yogurt

Step 1: Begin by blending the diced mango, turmeric powder and milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Pour the mango mixture into a bowl or jar. Add the chia seeds and sweetener (if using).

Step 3: Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight, until thickened.

Step 4: To assemble, spoon a layer of mango chia pudding into serving glasses or jars, followed by a layer of Greek yogurt. Repeat the layers until the glass is filled.

Step 5: Finish by spooning passion fruit pulp over the top. Serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy.

Storage

This mango chia pudding is best enjoyed freshly assembled, as the layers stay distinct and the textures are at their best. Once assembled with Greek yogurt and passion fruit, it’s not recommended to store it for long, as the layers can soften and release liquid.

The mango chia pudding on its own can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, simply layer it with fresh Greek yogurt and top with passion fruit for the best flavour and texture.
