This vibrant Mango and Dragon Fruit Chia Pudding is a creamy, nutrient-packed parfait perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Made with chia seeds soaked in coconut milk, sweetened with maple syrup, and layered with smooth blends of pink dragon fruit and Alphonso mango, it’s a tropical delight that’s both visually stunning and delicious. Optional vanilla coconut yogurt adds extra creaminess, while fresh chopped mango on top enhances the fruity experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 350 ml milk of choice (coconut milk recommended)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 65g chia seeds (approximately 6 tablespoons)

Fruit Purees

  • ½ pink dragon fruit, peeled and blended
  • 1 large Alphonso mango, peeled and blended

Toppings (Optional)

  • Vanilla coconut yogurt (optional for layering)
  • Chopped mango (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a measuring jug, combine 350 ml of milk, 1 ½ tablespoons of maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well to mix thoroughly. Add 65g of chia seeds and stir again using a fork to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Leave the mixture to set for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, stirring every couple of hours to prevent clumping.
  2. Blend the Dragon Fruit: Peel and roughly chop half of the pink dragon fruit. Blend it until completely smooth, creating a vibrant pink puree.
  3. Combine Dragon Fruit with Chia Pudding: Stir the pureed dragon fruit into the prepared chia pudding base. Mix well to evenly incorporate the flavors and color.
  4. Blend the Mango: Peel and roughly dice the Alphonso mango. Blend it until smooth and creamy, ready for layering.
  5. Assemble the Parfait: In serving cups or jars, layer the dragon fruit chia pudding, mango puree, and vanilla coconut yogurt if using. Repeat layers as desired. Top the parfait with freshly chopped mango pieces for added texture and flavor.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the parfait immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate to enjoy later. This parfait makes a refreshing, nutrient-rich breakfast or snack option packed with tropical flavors.

Notes

  • For best texture, allow the chia pudding to set overnight.
  • You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk or any other preferred plant-based milk.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup if desired.
  • Adding the vanilla coconut yogurt is optional but adds extra creaminess and flavor complexity.
  • Use ripe Alphonso mangoes for the sweetest, most fragrant taste.
  • Stir the chia pudding every couple of hours during setting to avoid clumps.
  • Keep the parfait refrigerated if not serving immediately; consume within 2 days for freshness.
