Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup coconut milk (choose canned for creaminess or carton for lighter consistency)

1/4 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional; adjust based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Mango Puree: In a blender, add the chopped mangoes along with a splash of coconut milk. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety. Once done, set aside the mango puree.

Make the Chia Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, the remaining coconut milk, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well blended. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, during which the chia seeds will expand, thickening the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.

Layering the Cups: Choose a serving dish or individual cups for presentation. Begin by adding a layer of the chia mixture (approximately 1/4 cup) at the bottom of each cup. Follow this with a layer of the mango puree (about 1/4 cup). Repeat the layering process until the cups are filled, ensuring that the final layer is the vibrant mango puree on top.

Freezing: Cover each cup with plastic wrap or place a lid on them securely. Transfer the cups to the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solid.

Serving the Cups: When ready to serve, take the cups out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. This will make scooping easier. If desired, garnish the top with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and added freshness.

Enjoy: Dive into your delightful Tropical Bliss Frozen Mango Chia Greek Cups, relishing them as a refreshing snack or a delightful dessert!
