Instructions
Make the Mango Puree
Place the cubed mango and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup in a blender. Then, blend until smooth.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of water if the mixture is too thick.
Transfer the puree to a bowl and set aside.
Make the Mango Ginger Chia Layer
Return ½ cup of the mango puree to the blender.
Add ⅔ cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds until well combined.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to begin thickening.
Make the Matcha Chia Layer
Add the matcha powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and 1–2 tablespoons coconut milk to a bowl.
Whisk until smooth and free of clumps. Mixing the matcha with a small amount of liquid first prevents clumping.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coconut milk.
Stir in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and mix well.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Then, whisk again to distribute the chia seeds evenly.
Assemble the Layers
Divide the mango-ginger-chia mixture between four glasses or jars.
Spoon the matcha chia mixture over the mango ginger chia layer.
Top each serving with the remaining mango puree.
Chill
Cover the glasses or jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Chill until the pudding is thick and fully set.
Serve
Top with fresh mango, shredded coconut, granola, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of coconut cream.
