A refreshing and nutritious dessert combining chia seeds and basil seeds soaked in coconut milk and mango puree. This pudding is light, hydrating, and perfect for a healthy treat.

Steps

Soak the basil seeds in 1/4 cup water for about 15 minutes until they swell up.
In a bowl, mix the chia seeds with the coconut milk and let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once chia seeds have formed a gel-like consistency, add the soaked basil seeds and mango puree to the mixture.
Stir well and sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 30 minutes to chill and thicken.
Serve cold, garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Tips for Chia and Basil Seed Tropical Pudding

A properly thickened pudding should hold soft peaks on a spoon, with the chia and basil seeds evenly suspended rather than settled.
Use fully ripe mango puree for a naturally sweeter, more fragrant result; tart puree can make the pudding taste less balanced.
Allow extra chilling time if you prefer a firmer texture, and keep the mint garnish separate until serving.

Drink pairing

A lightly sweet Moscato dessert wine
Its gentle sweetness and floral fruit notes complement the mango and coconut without overpowering the delicate seed pudding.
