Indulge guilt-free with our Chia Mango Coconut Trifle. Packed with fresh fruit, omega-3s, and creamy goodness. Perfect for a refreshing dessert!
Ingredients
- • ripe mangoes: 2 large, peeled and diced
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 1 cup
- • coconut yogurt: 1 cup
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • honey (optional): 1 tablespoon
- • pistachios: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a medium bowl, combine the chia seeds and coconut milk. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. Once the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and expanded, place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to thicken.
- 2 While the chia mixture is chilling, prepare the mango layer. In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, lime juice, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
- 3 Once the chia pudding has set, start assembling the trifle in individual serving glasses or bowls. Begin with a layer of chia pudding, followed by a layer of mango puree, and then a layer of coconut yogurt.
- 4 Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a generous topping of chopped pistachios and a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. For added flavor, you can also sprinkle a pinch of lime zest on top.
- 5 Serve immediately for a refreshing dessert, or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy. The flavors will meld beautifully as they sit.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Chia Mango Coconut Trifle pairs beautifully with a light green tea or a chilled herbal infusion, such as peppermint or lemongrass, to enhance its tropical essence. For an extra touch of elegance, serve the trifles in clear glass cups or small mason jars to showcase the vibrant layers. Consider complementing this dessert with a side of fresh tropical fruit salad featuring pineapple, papaya, and kiwi. The fresh fruit will amplify the natural sweetness of the trifle and create a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover trifle in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The layers may blend slightly over time, but the flavors will remain delightful. For best results, store the chia pudding, mango puree, and coconut yogurt separately if you plan to assemble them later. This will help maintain the distinct textures and flavors.
