Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves.

Tips for Guava & Coconut Chia Pudding

A well-set pudding should be thick and spoonable, with the chia seeds evenly suspended rather than settled in a dense layer.
Guava paste can be firm and chewy; small, even dice make each bite easier to scoop.
Use clear glasses to show the pink guava and pale pudding layers, and add the mint just before serving for a fresh appearance.
